Tiffany vs Crowley Tax War | Milwaukee News

Congressman Tom Tiffany is going after Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley with fiery accusations, claiming his tax policies are so extreme they’ll turn Wisconsin into one giant Milwaukee County. Tiffany calls Crowley the “Milwaukee County tax collector,” pointing to recent sales tax hikes as proof of his love for raising taxes. Crowley fires back, saying Tiffany’s attack is a distraction from his own record—and that the sales tax increase was actually part of a bipartisan state law designed to fix pension debt and protect essential services. Meanwhile, Tiffany doubles down, highlighting property tax increases and budget gaps, though data shows those revenues have actually declined when adjusted for inflation. Many of the hikes were approved to fund specific projects like museum renovations or pay off debt. Tiffany also unveiled his own eight-point economic plan, promising to repeal what he calls Governor Evers’ “four hundred-year property tax increase,” freeze property taxes statewide, cut income taxes, eliminate taxes on tips and overtime, and return the state surplus to taxpayers—all while calling for audits to find waste and boost job creation. But critics note he hasn’t explained where he’d make cuts to balance his tax-cutting promises. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
