The following from:

AUDIT SUMMARY February 1998
Since its creation in 1961, Menominee County has had difficulty in meeting its financial needs because of a severely limited property tax base. Most of its land is tax-exempt because it is held in federal trust for the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin, whose reservation includes the county and the Town of Menominee. Only 1 percent of land is taxable, and 94.4 percent of that land is residential property in a lakes area, including a development known as Legend Lake. The Tribe continues to purchase small amounts of land to be placed in federal trust, further reducing the tax base.
There is more in the report.
My son said a friend tried to look up some things in Menominee County at theBubbler and found very little. Indeed, I googled the County and found only "meta-sites" like realtors, attorneys, dating services and classifieds and news sites like theBubbler in the first 50 hits.
Now I know why.
If you know of any real links to personal or business sites for this County, please add them to theBubbler.com.
