WISCONSIN (CBS 58) -- Every Wisconsin voter this April will be asked about abortion, bail and public aid, but a handful of ballots in the Milwaukee area will also come with questions that could impact your pocketbook. In Hales Corners, the referendum's about firefighters and how to retain them when the rate of pay is lower than nearby departments. Administrators say at this point, raising the tax levy isn't a want, it's a need. In the six years Sandy Kulik's been Hales Corners' administrator, she's watched employees leave as they sought more money -- 195 now gone, including 105 just in the fire department.
