Republicans Propose Two Sales Tax Plans
Wisconsin lawmakers debate two Republican backed sales tax proposals as a fix for state finances. Both plans include a broader tax base, higher personal exemption, and reduced local property taxes.

Mayor Maier supports Nelson’s redistribution concept to direct funds toward higher-need areas while critics fear uneven impacts on communities.
