Wisconsin State Senator Glen Grothman (R-Madison) and Rep. Roger Roth (R-Grand Chute) are seeking co-sponsors. The county collected $139.2 million from transfer and recordation taxes in 2006. In 2007 it was $118 million. Down a little over 15 percent. In New York, the governor warns of a shortfall of at least $3.6 billion for next year due to slowdowns in financial services and real estate.

Estados Unidos Mexicanos (Spanish) / United Mexican States
Capital: Mexico City
The United Mexican States (Spanish: Estados Unidos Mexicanos), or commonly Mexico (Spanish: México),
is a federal constitutional republic in North America. It is bounded on the north by the United States;
on the south and west by the North Pacific Ocean; on the southeast by Guatemala, Belize, and the
Caribbean Sea; and on the east by the Gulf of Mexico. The United Mexican States comprise a federation
of thirty-one states and a federal district, the capital Mexico City, which is one of the world's most
populous cities.
Covering almost 2 million square kilometers, Mexico is the fifth-largest country in the Americas by
total area and the 14th largest in the world. With an estimated population of 109 million, it is the
11th most populous country and the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world.
As a regional power and the only Latin American member of the Organization for Economic Co-operation
and Development (OECD) since 1994, Mexico is firmly established as an upper middle-income country.
Mexico is the 12th largest economy in the world by gross domestic product (GDP), on par with
countries like Canada and Spain, even though income inequality is still high. The economy is strongly
linked to those of its North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) partners. Elections held in July
2000 marked the first time that an opposition party won the presidency from the Institutional
Revolutionary Party (Partido Revolucionario Institucional: PRI) which had held it since 1929,
culminating the political alternation at the federal level, which had begun at the local level
during the 1980s.

By Mica Rosenberg MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexicans are jumping to the defense of the jalapeno pepper, maligned by U.S. health inspectors in a salmonella scare but loved by millions in its ancient home and growing in popularity north of the border. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Monday it found a jalapeno pepper contaminated with the strain of salmonella that has sickened more than 1,200 people and warned everyone across the United States to stop eating them. But the warning did little to dampen the appetite for jalapenos in Mexico, where the spicy green pepper is heaped on tacos and sandwiches at almost every street corner.
