Remember Governor Doyle’s latest so-called property tax
“freeze?” The Governor, and only in his world could this be possible, gave Wisconsin a property tax freeze that was supposed to result in tax levy increases of only two percent.
The Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance (WTA) has issued a report entitled,
"Property Taxes: Freeze or Thaw?"The WTA writes:
”Despite a "freeze" designed to slow Wisconsin property tax growth, statewide gross levies rose 4.6% to $8.71 billion in 2006-07. Due mainly to large increases in school property taxes, levy growth was up significantly over the previous season.”So much for the Governor’s,
“freeze,” that seems to be all wet.
Here’s the
WTA report.
