Dog License Veto in Wisconsin Legislature Sparks Debate
Governor La Feillette vetoes Assembly Bill 267 to license dogs with fees from one to three dollars, citing fair tax burdens. The veto references the state tax commission report and statistics supporting equal taxation, arguing against expanding dog license costs while protecting property tax equity and public services. The veto message underscores the push for conservative, uniform taxation and criticizes further delays in adopting a fair tax system.
