MILWAUKEE - The public was expected to learn more about County Executive Chris Abele's new budget proposal on Wednesday.

He was set to unveil the 2013 budget at Moody Park at 12:00 p.m.

Abele said the $1.3 billion budget would improve services and public safety without raising taxes.

The plan reportedly includes a property tax freeze and a shift in health benefit costs onto employees.

He has been scheduled to formally present the budget to the Milwaukee County Board on Thursday.
