Wisconsin Unclaimed Money

Here's some good news for Milwaukee homeowners to off-set the rising costs of fuel and everything else: property relief taxes amounting to as much as $165 in tax cuts(for a $150,00 home) can be in store for them if an advisory referendum for a ballot the Milwaukee County Board voted for gets passed. This in a recent financial report on WISN. Not a homeowner? There's plenty of good news to go around- Wisconsin unclaimed money. Here's part of an interesting article I found on money owed to residents who have unclaimed property in America's dairy state:

"Wisconsin is home to a lot more American goodies than just milk and cheese. The Badger State is also home to catfish (Potosi, WI), Harley Davidson Motorcycles and the Green Bay Packers. An amusing fact I just found out about Green Bay that few know about is that it's also the toilet paper capital of the world. There's another kind of paper that can be found piled-up in Wisconsin's Treasury Department though- the green, good-smelling kind. Yep, Wisconsin unclaimed money amounting to almost $400 million is in the State Treasurer's hands and she's looking to reunite it with over a million people who are owed their fair share."


According to State Treasurer Dawn Marie Sass, Wisconsin unclaimed funds total around $330 million and with the State's population at 5 million residents, that's roughly 1 out of 5 residents owed Wisconsin unclaimed money. Read more about unclaimed money in Wisconsin.
