Issue Position: Blueprint for Prosperity

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2017
Issues: Taxes

Governor Walker's administration is committed to providing tax relief to Wisconsin's families, farmers, seniors, and employers. Thanks to prudent fiscal management and a growing economy, Wisconsin had a $911 million projected surplus at the start of 2014.

In his State of the State address, Governor Walker proposed giving the vast majority of that money back to the hard-working taxpayers who earned it. Called "The Blueprint for Prosperity", this plan provides $406 million in property tax relief and $100 million in income tax relief. It also updated the withholding tables, so Wisconsin taxpayers can keep more of the money that they earn in their own pockets. Ultimately, the average Wisconsin family in a median-value home will see over $680 in relief -- money that they can budget for, money they can count on.
