Walker Budget devastating for Wisconsin middle class families

[mzteris]

". . . The budget increases taxes on working families and seniors by $50 million while cutting taxes for corporations, donors and the wealthy by $200 million in the next biennium. This is far from shared sacrifice.

Another hard hit for many Wisconsin middle class families to absorb is the $107 million that will be added to UW tuition, pricing many middleclass families out of a university system they help fund.

Gov. Walker also slashes aid to local communities by $96 million and public schools by $1.7 billion, forcing local governments and school boards throughout the state to decide what services they will slash or no longer provide. He calls cutting workers take home pay a “tool” and turns a deaf ear to local officials who tell him the numbers do not add up. . ."
