Ditching Wisconsin's income tax — for the Packers — with Tax Foundation's Hoffer

from WIZM - La Crosse Talk Interviews · host WIZM News Staff

We look at ditching Wisconsin’s income tax — if only to make the Packers more competitive — with the Tax Foundation’s Dr. Adam Hoffer, plus how the state pays to fix roads and build roundabouts using gas taxes and EV fees. We kicked things off by looking back at when Tyreek Hill signed with the Miami Dolphins, noting he chose Florida partly because it has no state income tax. That led to a breakdown of what Hill’s salary would have looked like had he signed with the Green Bay Packers or the Minnesota Vikings instead. From there, we got into how Wisconsin could revamp its income tax system — with ideas ranging from a flat tax to eliminating it altogether — along with the challenges of making that transition and how the state might replace the lost revenue through sales or property taxes. We opened the show with a look at road funding and La Crosse traffic — from roundabouts to summer construction — and wrapped up with the revenue differences between gas taxes and EV fees.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
