League of Women Voters Concerned About Insufficient Revenues

The Wisconsin League of Women Voters released a statement today stating their concern that the budget will "continue a dangerous pattern of under-funding," resulting in cuts to vital services.

"Each budget that is passed without sufficient revenue adds to the deficit that will burden future generations of Wisconsin taxpayers," reads the statement. "Of the many revenue options available, we strongly support the progressive income tax, which is the best tax to use if ability to pay is a goal."

See the statement here.

Meanwhile, a group called Wisconsin Property Taxpayers Inc. is imploring legislators no to "cave in to tax spenders' pressure."
