Scott Walker Gov WI LIES again -claims he saved citizens on property taxes...

[iwishiwas]

But its conclusion can’t be used to make the kind of claim Walker makes.

No such analysis has been published yet, based on what we heard from tax experts.

To sum up, Walker claimed the 2011-’13 state budget will "save" the average homeowner $700 over two years.

If he meant a $700 tax cut compared to the past bills, that’s not in the cards at all. The state’s nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau projects the typical homeowner would see a $55 increase in two years compared with 2010.

And even if he meant $700 less of an increase, his assertion is not based on an apples-to-apples comparison of his budget vs. the old law. The real figure is not yet known, but we do know that the approach Walker cited was designed in a way that puffs up the "savings."

The claim, with its shorthand presentation, rates as False.

Walker, like all Republicans are perpetual liars.

3. We just got a notice that our taxes went up 400 bucks. We

called and found it was because we bought a new furnace to replace one that was 40 years old.

[iwishiwas]

5. with all taxpayers chipping in, 400$/household seem too much. whow.

[shraby]

7. Whoops, I meant our assessment. Didn't notice until you said

something. Taxes aren't going up by 400.
They should give us a break on the assessment because of the age of the furnace we replaced. It would't have been much longer before it was a hazard.

4. Based on his prior record, no one should believe him

when he was Milwaukee County executive my property taxes went up by about 25%. I had made no improvements to the property.

[jmowreader]

8. Let me guess...

He cut the property tax RATE then had every house in Wisconsin reassessed at a much higher value.

elitist racist lying greedy motherfuckers republicans are!
