Special session agenda includes two bills that would cut business taxes

By Dave Umhoefer January 14, 2011

Gov. Scott Walker"s legislative proposal for the special session in January 2011 included a bill that would exempt businesses from income and franchise taxes for two years, in cases where the firms have done business in Wisconsin for 10 years or more.

The introduction of the measure puts him partially down the road toward cutting taxes on employers. Likewise, a separate provision for a small-business tax cut carves out another niche of employer tax cuts.

Walker so far has not made a proposal for an across-the-board business tax cut.

For now, we rate this one as In the Works.
