County boards respond to constituent needs. Because this new law responds to the widely recognized need for greater library funding equity, it can be expected that county boards will comply with this law which expresses the needs of constituents and the will of the citizens of Wisconsin as represented by the legislature and governor. In the unlikely event of non-compliance, legal action to enforce the law could be brought by a municipality providing service to county residents and perhaps a harmed taxpayer.
