Recently the Wisconsin State Journal ran an important piece describing the current tax debate in the Badger State. Gov. Walker has said he is interested in income tax repeal and already pushed through three major tax cuts during his term in office.
Governor Walker’s major challenger, Mary Burke has said, “My pledge is not to raise taxes overall and to make sure that Wisconsin taxes and fees are in line with other states.”
