Joint Finance Committee Co-Chairs say Flat Tax Won’t be Part of State Budget

WISCONSIN (WTAQ-WRN) — It looks as if a flat tax will not be part of the next state budget.

Joint Finance Committee co-chairs, state Senator Howard Marklein and Representative Mark Born, said Tuesday that they don’t expect a 3.25 percent flat tax to be part of their final budget.

It’s an idea heavily promoted by state Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu, but Governor Tony Evers has made clear would lead him to reject the Joint Finance Committee budget.
