Wisconsin single tax amendment sparks statewide debate
Madison July 19 The single tax amendment to Wisconsin’s constitution is set to be the major issue this year. Economist Prof John R Commons says the reform will aid cities and counties that act first, by enabling flexible taxation while keeping state and county assessment harmony. The amendment allows local governments to exempt classes of property but requires that exempt values be included in overall state and county tax bases. Edward Nordman led the successful Assembly fight for the measure. Nordman’s background includes work on a construction train at Langlade County, farming at New London, and roles as school superintendent and state board of agriculture member.
