Wisconsin Legislature debated public accounting and tax plans
Madison May 6 reports from a special committee on public accounting favoring adoption for all state departments. The push to repeal last session’s land fee abolition was introduced with new salary limits for clerks, while various bills advanced including rail commission changes, tax funding measures, and a central voting machine commission. The apportionment bill faced veto, and proposed county supervisors of assessment drew sharp cost concerns across counties.
