Wisconsin Tax Plan Dies After Senate Defeat
Gov. Nelson’s compromise tax bill fell after a two day debate ending 20 to 9 with six Democrats joining Republicans to kill it. Efforts to expunge the record failed and Assembly inaction delayed budget cuts and a 10 percent across the board reduction. The measure would have raised income tax, added a sales tax, and funneled 80 million to tax relief.
