At the start of this month, Scott Walker’s tax withholdings plan took effect, which will save the typical Wisconsin family an average of $520 the rest of the year. This comes on the heels of Walker’s Blueprint for Prosperity, which in total will provide over $800 million in tax relief for hard- working taxpayers.

Meanwhile, Mary Burke continues to run a campaign based on dishonesty and avoiding the tough decisions. Burke has received several “Pants on Fire” ratings with her campaign and jobs plan. While she continues her “No Promises” campaign, she has also shown her lack of leadership in action, by abstaining from an important school board vote this week.

Scott Walker is lowering the tax burden

Scott Walker’s tax witholdings plan takes effect this month, which will save the typical Wisconsin family an average of $520 the rest of the year – that’s real money and hard-earned tax relief.

Scott Walker’s Blueprint for Prosperity in total provides over $800 million in total tax relief, through property and income tax cuts and a major reduction on tax withholdings.

In total, the combined tax relief from Scott Walker’s reforms in office is over $2 billion – and counting.

Governor Walker has demonstrated leadership and a willingness to make the important decisions to put Wisconsin back on track by lowering the tax burden, balancing the budget, and making it easier for job creators to succeed.

Walker’s leadership on the state’s finances has led to improving employer confidence by over 80 points to reach 95%, and now over 100,000 new jobs and 17,000 new businesses have been created.

Mary Burke: Dishonesty and No Leadership While Burke continues her “No Promises” campaign, she has also shown her lack of leadership in action. Burke abstained from an important school board vote this week – displaying that she isn’t willing to make the tough decisions for those who elected her.

Being Governor involves making tough decisions, but Mary Burke failed that mission while under pressure – If she can’t be trusted to do her job on the school board, Wisconsin can’t afford her as Governor.

Burke’s record clearly includes raising the tax burden, both in the Doyle Administration and on the Madison School Board – once by the maximum amount allowed by l.

After her first TV ad was rated a “Pants on Fire,” Burke’s lies didn’t stop there. Burke received another “Pants on Fire” lie for her disregard of the truth, this time on false claim with her jobs plan.

Burke may have a jobs plan, but we already know her clear track record: policies in the Doyle Administration that led to 133,000 jobs lost and 27,000 businesses leaving the state. Wisconsin can’t afford to go backward lease share these talking points with your friends and distribution lists. In addition, you can easily submit your own LTE on our websitehere.
