When Governor Scott Walker<\/a> took office in January 2011, he began a wave of reforms that have advanced Wisconsin<\/a>\u2019s economy. Wisconsin added over 63,000 private sector<\/a> jobs in 2011-12 following the loss of about 134,000 private sector jobs during the previous four years. The private sector job gains under Governor Walker are the best two-year gains under any Governor in over a decade.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, the Wisconsin Rapids Tribune<\/a> posted an article about Governor Walker’s plan to use part of the state’s surplus to reduce taxes on the residents of the state.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Assembly Republicans put the finishing touches Tuesday on Gov. Scott Walker\u2019s plan to devote a huge chunk of the state\u2019s surplus to tax cuts<\/a>, approving the proposal one last time before sending it to the governor to be signed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The bill calls for using the state\u2019s projected $977 million surplus to cover property and income tax cuts. The measure would send $406 million to technical colleges<\/a> to reduce their property tax<\/a> hit and cut income taxes<\/a> by $98.6 million. The changes would translate to a $131 reduction on a median-valued home\u2019s property tax bill this December and save the average worker $46 in annual income taxes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Admittedly, that’s not very much–a little over $200 for a family where both parents work–but it represents movement in the right direction. How many years have the residents of Wisconsin watched their taxes increase by that much?<\/p>\n

Governor Walker created an environment in Wisconsin that attracted businesses, and businesses came. The irony of this is that many ‘experts’ have attributed the migration of Americans<\/a> to southern states to warmer climates–frankly, I am not sure you could convince anyone to go to Wisconsin based on climate alone.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Governor Walker for a job well done!<\/p>\n
