Wisconsin budget tax bill faces uncertain Assembly path
Wisconsin lawmakers return from the Fourth of July holiday to debate a 1963 65 budget tax measure backed by Gov. Reynolds. The plan totals 631 million and combines sales income and excise taxes. Amendments, including proposals for an across the board two percent sales tax, are likely as Assembly Republicans and Democrats weigh spending cuts or new revenues. Debate starts Tuesday with a Senate coalition already on record, while Assembly leaders push for reconciliation or possible conference committee action. The outcome remains uncertain with majority party dynamics and potential moves toward a broad sales tax or universal income surtax.
