Milwaukee Mayor Henry W. Maier: property tax originally had few functions, but the
state has shifted tax burden to property tax payers. Stand-up interview (near same
place Maier interviewed) with unidentified man (insurance industry spokesman) on
“Fair Plans” - insurance is available to all people in depressed areas
through the cooperation of a large number of insurance carriers and Federal
government. Unidentified man on unfairness of property tax. Federal government will
have to take more of the burden. Milwaukee and other cities need a proper distribution
of resources in state, Maier says.
