Local tax plan would shift utilities from state to local control
Madison officials push a bill to replace state utility taxes with community taxation. The proposal would assign utilities to the jurisdiction where they are located, causing a projected annual state loss of 1.18 million dollars and township loss of 689 thousand, while villages gain 28 thousand, cities 854 thousand, and counties 660 thousand. Northern Wisconsin utilities would pay more under the plan.
