Wisconsin: Republican Dale Schultz sez voters tell him Walker's tax plan is an "election year trick"
http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/govt-and-politics/scott-walker-to-propose-tax-plan-that-would-save-average/article_124cca80-5182-58b9-9b21-89919dad08a8.html
Senate President Mike Ellis, R-Neenah, called the property tax cut “exciting.” “That’s fantastic,” he said. “It’s significant.”
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, said he briefed members of his caucus on the plan, and they were supportive. “I feel very confident that the Assembly Republican position is going to be pretty closely aligned with the governor’s plan,” Vos said.
But Sen. Dale Schultz, R-Richland Center, said in his conversations with about 200 constituents over the past week since the surplus was announced, he hasn’t heard anyone clamoring for more tax cuts.
“‘Don’t you see through these election year tricks? We just want you to balance the budget,’” Schultz said in summarizing what he’s heard from voters. “I’m looking for a serious plan to get rid of the structural deficit.”
Schultz is Wisconsin's best Republican, having put himself between Walker's henchmen and the People on several occasions. Thank you Dale.
