A family with 2 working parents earning $45k each had a $515 tax cut under the plan passed by the legislature. Instead, @GovEvers vetoed that middle-class tax cut, and the same family will only see $48 in tax relief. What could your family do with an extra $500? What about $48?

No way to hide it. The simple fact is that @GovEvers vetoed a middle class tax cut. Instead of Wisconsinites getting hundreds of dollars of our own money back, taxpayers will get on average just $36.

“Instead of Wisconsinites getting $3.5 billion of their money back, @GovEvers has all but eliminated any meaningful tax relief...With a $7 billion surplus, it is unconscionable & embarrassing that Wisconsinites will not see substantial income tax reform."
