The Wisconsin Way and tax reform

Steven Elbow reports in Group calls for tax overhaul in new report that the Wisconsin Way is interested in:

Moving school funding away from property taxes, shortening high school time from four to three years, eliminating the corporate income tax. These are a handful of the many ideas an influential group of business and lobbying leaders in the state are hoping to spur a discussion about long-term solutions to Wisconsin's economic woes.



The group's long-anticipated "Blueprint for Change" is the result of 14 months of public forums and meetings across the state to address policy shortcomings that it says has resulted in a tax system that doesn't work and a brain drain of workers with college degrees. The result is an erosion of earning power and quality jobs, according to the group.
