Tom Tiffany Eyes Eliminating Income Tax
Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany says he is open to eliminating Wisconsin state income tax after passing an initial budget. Critics warn the move would threaten vital public services.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany pledged a 10% income tax cut and expressed openness to eliminating the United States state income tax entirely after his first budget. The proposal targets an individual income tax system that generated $10.5 billion in the most recent fiscal year. Abolishing the levy would remove a revenue stream that funds 45.7% of the state's general fund, requiring deep spending cuts or alternative levies.
