MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers and Democratic lawmakers unveiled an income tax plan Tuesday, minutes before a public hearing on a competing Republican proposal that's moving quickly through the Legislature.
Evers all but promised to veto the Republican plan, while GOP lawmakers don't want to reduce a manufacturing and agriculture tax credit program as the governor proposed to partially pay for his plan. That's a recipe for stalemate, even though Evers and Republicans agree on wanting to cut taxes for the middle class.
Republicans would tap a budget surplus to pay for their $340 million annual tax cut.
