The Republican-controlled legislature is moving ahead with its plan for a middle class income tax cut. A bill passed out of committee last week and is scheduled for floor debate Tuesday and Wednesday. Lawmakers want to use a surplus to pay for the tax cut, while Gov. Tony Evers is pushing a plan to eliminate a tax credit for manufacturers.
How might this play out? JR Ross of WisPolitics.com, says Evers will likely veto the GOP plan, but then the legislature could override the veto. In response, Evers may put his plan into the budget and then it remains to be seen if Evers and lawmakers can reach a compromise on how to pay for the income tax cut.
