Citizens group attacks Senate budget and tax bill
MADISON The Public Expenditure Survey of Wisconsin attacked a state Senate budget and tax bill passed after an 11 p.m. Friday session. The watchdog urged rejection of both measures as out of step with economic and taxpayer needs. Co chairman Paul Nelson warned the $430 million increase could trigger higher future state and local taxes. He criticized open end programs and benefits for state employees, contrasting with the Joint Finance Committee plan calling for about $250 less in taxes.
