Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany blasted Gov. Evers’ budget deal with legislative leaders, calling it a “gimmick” that he would not vote for.
“Governor Evers is acting like the arsonist who wants praise for spraying a drop of water on the fire he started,” Tiffany posted on X Tuesday morning. “This backroom ‘relief deal’ does nothing to repeal Governor Evers’ 400-year property tax increase. It does nothing to stop Madison’s addiction to taxing and spending. And after Governor Evers’ PSC approved billions in utility rate hikes, a one-time $300 check barely scratches the surface.”
Earlier Tuesday morning, Tiffany told News/Talk 1130 WISN’s Benjamin Yount that he would not vote for the package were he still in the State Legislature.
“When I am governor, the gimmicks stop and lasting relief begins,” Tiffany added on X. “The 400-year property tax increase will be repealed. Madison’s addiction to overtaxing families will be dismantled. Surplus funds will be returned to the taxpayers where they belong, and Wisconsin workers will keep more of what they earn from the very beginning.”
