Property values up in Wisconsin amid pandemic, aided by residential value boost

Total equalized property values in Wisconsin increased 6.8% in 2021, the largest one-year increase since 2006. The increase was buoyed by residential property values, which also saw their largest increase in that span. Residential property values statewide grew 7.8% in 2021, the biggest annual percentage increase since 2006.

Finding and telling stories is not a science

Whether it was at Grandma’s or Aunt Sara’s, I’ve always loved hearing stories. So, it should be no surprise that I was drawn into a career of hearing them and telling them.

New poll question: Do you support workplace vaccine mandates?

A new poll question asking whether readers support vaccine requirements in the workplace is available to be used by WNA members. Following the full FDA approval of the COVID-19 vaccine, we are asking the question in light of an increasing number of employers beginning to require their workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Poll questions are available through a WNA partnership with Polco aimed at helping newspapers better engage readers and access enhanced data and insights. WNA members who have signed up for an account can access their local version of the new question, as well as local poll results, on their dashboards. Those who have not signed up can do so here.
