Governor says Wisconsin budget balanced without tax hike
Governor Nelson announced the 1960 61 Wisconsin budget can be balanced without tax increases due to economic growth. He proposed extending the 25 percent surtax but lowering it to 20 percent while taxing banks and building and loan institutions to raise about four million dollars. Local governments would gain revenue from the tax shifts.

Wisconsin park use stamp proposal faces governor action
The Conservation Commission urged Gov. Nelson to back a $2 annual park-use sticker to fund state parks, noting the governor has not replied to a prior request. A $2 nonresident stamp would raise about $439,934 this summer, while a nonresident only option would cut revenue by half but cost the same to administer. The panel also pressed for governor support to drop the predator bounty and tentatively approved creating a research and planning division within the department.
