20 Counties Seek Utility Tax Change
Representatives from 20 counties meeting in Portage seek restoration of the old utility tax formula. La Crosse County Chairman William Bush plans to attend as counties with power plants lobby for higher shared tax revenues. The group cites declines in aid from $137,363 in 1975 to $68,682 in 1976 and forecasts about $31,000 next year. The Vernon County case is highlighted by Dairyland Power plants at Genoa. Wisconsin Counties Utility Tax Association members have polled legislators and candidates to use the results in the next session. Only Rep. Paul Offner opposed returning to the old formula, arguing nuclear power’s rise drives the need for reform.
