MADISON, WI (WRN) - Republicans in the state Assembly have passed a middle-class tax cut that's at odds with Governor Tony Evers, who has his own tax cut plan.
Republicans say the fully-funded tax cut plan will provide $340 million in tax relief for the middle class! That works out to $310 for the median Wisconsin family.
But Evers says.....
“I can’t understand how we could possibly use up all of the surplus for this, and then ignore the rest of the budget,”
The GOP bill uses a state surplus to fund a ten percent middle-class tax cut.
Evers plan, which he’ll introduce as part of his state budget proposal, uses some of that surplus, but also caps a manufacturing tax credit. Republicans call that a jobs killer.
The Assembly passed the measure 61-33, with all Republicans for it and all Democrats against it.
