From Racine County Eye:
By Heather Asiyanbi in Breaking · October 25, 2014
"Racine County Friday filed a Notice of Claim against the City of Racine for unpaid bills for joint dispatch service.
"Racine and the villages of Caledonia, Mount Pleasant and Sturtevant
in 2010 entered into an agreement with the county for joint emergency
dispatch services. Under the terms of the contract, each community makes
a quarterly payment for 10 years; on the first of January, April, July
and October.
"The city’s payments total $350,474.75 each quarter, but according to
the Notice, as of Friday Racine had not yet paid two 2014 invoices and
doesn’t intend to pay them.
“'On September 22, 2014, the City stated its position that although it
too was satisfied with the services delivered under the contract, it
does not intend to pay two outstanding quarterly invoices,' the Notice
reads."

I thought I heard the reason for non-payment was due to a dispute over the amount owed. From what I heard in the news (and I admit I could be wrong, so don't bite off my head) only one of the surrounding communities wanted Racine to pay a larger share of the costs than what was originally mutually agreed.
Could there be another side to this story? They say it takes two to tango.
