Excerpt: Like all local governments, Sauk County is facing budget challenges in 2012 and beyond.
To help direct county officials in making most of their budgets, the Sauk County Finance Committee has created an online survey and invites county residents to participate so that their voices can be heard.

- Public safety (17 categories)
- Judicial (8)
- Health & social services - Aging and disability programs (12)
- Health & social services - County health (6)
- Health & social services - Human services (12)

- Health & social services - Housing authority (4)
- Transportation (13)
- Parks, education, & economic development (17; "Libraries" included here)
- Land use/Land records (8)
- Conservation (8)
- General government (10)
