Assembly battles over tax bill end with 100 percent relief
Madison AP The Wisconsin State Assembly fought into the early hours before restoring a 100 percent personal property tax relief provision to the GOP tax revision bill. The measure, which would fully exempt inventories, stocks, and farm livestock, must return to the Senate after a 53-33 vote with three Democrats siding with Republicans. The session extended past 12:45 a.m. as supporters warned the bill could cost the GOP in 1962 elections. The Senate previously cut relief to 50 percent to free funds for local real estate tax relief. The tax bill, favored by the GOP, would raise about 43.3 million in new revenue. Turn to TAX on Page 2.

Democrats called it candy coating for a tax measure harming the poor, while Republicans argued the opposition feared it would push the governor to sign the full revision into law.
