MADISON - A Republican-led task force says
Wisconsin can create more jobs by reducing taxes.
The group's recommendations came out of
meetings between GOP legislators and more than 150 business owners
around Wisconsin.
The panel recommends reducing the
personal income tax, reducing taxes on employers, freezing property
taxes and simplifying the tax code. Legislators also should hold off
on new business regulations and speed up permits.
The recommendations likely will go
nowhere. Democrats control the Legislature and the governor's office.
Rebekah Sweeney is a spokeswoman for
Assembly Speaker Mike Sheridan, a Janesville Democrat. She says
Democrats weren't invited to participate on the panel and questioned
how Republicans would pay for changes when the state faces a $6.6
billion deficit.
