Tony Evers called on lawmakers to return money to taxpayers during his campaign this year and signed a Republican-authored tax cut last year, the GOP’s tax proposal will likely stop at the governor’s desk. “This proposal will fundamentally transform Wisconsin’s individual income tax and keep more money in the pockets of hardworking Wisconsinites.” “Our state government is still taxing its citizens too much,” Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu (R-Oostburg) said at a WisPolitics forum in Madison last month. The state would foot a bill of $14.2 billion in lost tax revenue in the first four years, according to the Legislative Fiscal Bureau. For the average taxpayer, the tax decrease would be $4,415 over the four-year phase-in period and about $1,800 per year after that.
