Just read the e-update from GovWalkerNewsletter@wisconsin.gov
It says:
“The school portion of the property tax levy was down one percent across the state. It’s important to point out that school tax levies increased on average $162 million a year—each of the last five years. By comparison, this year we put $228 million back into the pockets of property taxpayers in this area alone. That amounts to $69 for every man, woman and child in the state.”
Not every man, woman and child pays property tax, only property owners do. Gov. Walker took $228 million out of Wisconsin schools and put it back into the pockets of property owners. He says “Everything we’ve done is to lay the groundwork for a better future for the next generation,” but he’s taken away from the next generation in order to do it.
