Wisconsin faces budget gap with 2 percent sales tax proposal
Madison sources report a two percent state sales tax as the proposed fix for Wisconsin's 1955 57 budget deficit. The Special Taxpayers Committee urged the Legislature to adopt the tax to balance the budget, reduce property taxes, and boost personal exemptions, potentially cutting property tax bills next January. The plan aims to raise about 75 million dollars annually and may leave 30 million for local relief, with discussions of a surtax for individuals.

Selling prices at state assembly points include State brand 39 to 41, Grade B 36 to 38, Grade C 33 to 36, while 40-pound blocks and daisies show lower ranges and moisture basis figures. Domestic Swiss and American cheese markets reflect a similar soft trend with ample supplies and weak to steady demand.
