STATE REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS SUBMIT PROPOSAL TO DESIGNATE WISCONSIN SURPLUS FUNDS FOR TAXPAYER REBATES
On Monday a proposal was sent to the desk of Democratic Governor Tony Evers from Republican leaders in the state legislature to designate a portion of the state’s $2.5 Billion surplus for rebate checks and property tax relief. WisPolitics reports that the proposal, sent by Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu, includes $1,000 rebate checks for those married filing jointly and $500 for individuals.
Also proposed is a half-billion dollars for the school levy tax credit, and $200 million to reimburse special education costs. The Governor’s Office will now weigh the proposal.
