Bair Opposes Tax Hike Amid Wisconsin Budget Debate
Attorney Robert M. Bair opposes raising taxes to ease Wisconsin’s budget strain, arguing higher levies could slow business and employment. He cites current receipts from 1949 51 taxes at 136 million with a projected 48 million surplus, totaling about 184 million for the next biennium, and suggests trimming spending and preserving school aid levels to avoid new taxes. He urges voters to lobby senators and representatives for a restrained tax program and prudent spending.
