Despite two budgets in the books, nothing to harvest on this one

As a candidate in 2010, Scott Walker promised that as governor, he would conduct a "comprehensive review of all tax policy that impacts farmers.”

Walker signed a major tax-reduction bill inserted into his first budget by Republican lawmakers that directly addresses costs at agribusinesses. And his efforts to virtually freeze property tax collections statewide also have held down tax bills for farmers.

Walker spokesman Tom Evenson argued that a number of tax credits were overhauled to make way for the manufacturing and agriculture tax credit.

But that's not the same as a comprehensive review of all tax policy in this area and Walker is more than halfway into his term.

Given that state budgets are the primary vehicle for creating tax changes, and that the two budgets during Walker's term have already been adopted, we move the rating on this promise from In the Works to Stalled.
