Around the State
RECORD LOW TAXES: The Wisconsin Policy Forum reports that state and local taxes in 2022 totaled 9.9 percent of personal income, a record low driven by rising incomes, state caps on property taxes, and an income tax cut. That dropped Wisconsin to the 35th highest state and local tax burden, another all-time low. WisPolitics reports this continued a two-decade trend of Wisconsin going down in the rankings of the highest-taxed states; in 2000, we ranked number three. – Courtesy Wisconsin Family Action
