Property tax relief oversold in Wisconsin debate
In Wisconsin the campaign slogan property tax relief dominates political discourse but the impact is limited. Analysts warn that the promised savings amount to about 10 to 11 percent next year while overall tax burdens rise due to higher income, sales, and other taxes and a growing federal debt.
