WAUSAU, WI – Congressman Tom Tiffany, candidate for Governor of Wisconsin, released the following statement after Governor Evers vetoed Senate Bill 389, legislation that would have ended his 400-year property tax increase, which extends until the year 2425.

“Wisconsin already has some of the highest property taxes in America, and Governor Evers just vetoed relief for working families,” said Rep. Tiffany. “No governor should have the power to raise your taxes for 400 years with the stroke of a pen. On day one, I will end this 400-year hike and lower property taxes.”

Earlier this year, Rep. Tiffany unveiled his property tax relief agenda, which includes calling a special session immediately upon taking office to end the 400-year property tax increase and implementing a property tax freeze to stop taxes from rising further.

It is also worth noting that Francesca Hong, the leading Democrat candidate for Governor, voted against Senate Bill 389. Lt. Governor Sara Rodriguez has also called the 400-year property tax increase “appropriate.”
