New report says the Nicolet Unified High School District has seen big savings from Act 10, as has Maple Dale-Indian Hill School District. However, Fox Point-Bayside didn't benefit nearly as much.
The controversial state law that eliminated most collective bargaining rights for school employees reduced benefit costs for Nicolet High School District by $418,000 last school year, according to a report released Monday. However, Fox Point-Bayside saw a $57,000 increase in benefit costs. The bulk of the savings for Nicolet came from reductions in the district's share of employee retirement costs, the report by the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance said. In the 2010-11 school year, Nicolet paid $567,629 toward the employee share of pension costs for workers; in 2011-12, that dropped to about $37,043, a 93.5 percent reduction, the report said.

They're not required to do so under new law, but police will make contributions to help ease impact of budget bill on the village.
Under the state's new budget repair bill , police officers and firefighters - unlike most public employees - do not have to kick in toward their pension and health costs. But under a new three-year contract retroactive to Jan. 1, members of Bayside's police union have agreed to start paying a portion of their pension costs and health care.
