MADISON — Republican candidate for Senate
Dave Westlake says he didn't pay Wisconsin income taxes in 2002 because he
was living in Illinois that year.
Income tax records provided to The
Associated Press this week by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue show
that Westlake reported net taxes in nine of the past 10 years but not for
2002.
Westlake said Friday that's because he was
working as a consultant at Caterpillar in Peoria, Ill., the entire
calendar year. He says he returned to Wisconsin sometime in early 2003.
Westlake is running against Terrence Wall
for the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Russ
Feingold. State tax records show that Wall didn't pay income taxes nine of
the past 10 years.
