MADISON, WI – Today, Congressman Tom Tiffany announced on the Benjamin Yount Show that he opposes Governor Evers’ so-called “relief deal,” calling it another Madison gimmick that fails to deliver lasting tax relief for Wisconsin taxpayers.

“Governor Evers is acting like the arsonist who wants praise for spraying a drop of water on the fire he started.”

“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.”

“When I am governor, the gimmicks stop and lasting relief begins. The 400-year property tax increase will be repealed.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.”

“Madison has taken far too much from you for far too long, and that ends with me. You deserve more than a drop.”
