Ag commission urges Wisconsin farm property tax relief
The Governor's Commission on Agriculture voted to ask legislators to raise state funding for public and vocational education to cut farmers property tax costs. The plan includes expanding the Farmland Preservation Program by 42 million over two years, with possible higher costs if participation rises. The panel backs increasing state school funding share to 60 percent, funded by a one cent sales tax earmarked for school property tax relief, and phased state coverage of VTAE costs over eight years aiming to eliminate the VTAE tax by 1993.
