MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson is vetoing just one line item in the 2024 city budget. 

If sustained, it would lower the property tax levy increases for next year. 

The mayor is asking the Common Council to use some of the remaining ARPA funds to help make up the difference, citing a want to use available resources before asking citizens for more money from taxes. 

"In a year when we have had to make tough decisions in order to stabilize our fiscal future -- and many of those necessary decision shave increased what our residents will pay next year in sales taxes, fees and property taxes, I would ask that we use our existing resources before we ask them for even more," the mayor wrote.

As for the rest of the budget, the mayor said while he may not agree with every amendment to his proposal, he understands where the Common Council is coming from and calls the budget "extraordinary."
