Doyle's Freeze

I am told that Doyle’s tax “freeze” does include an actual statutory freeze on local governments, but the limits would be somewhat higher than the GOP plan. His plan would still get to a total overall 2.6% limit though, because the school tax levy increase would be 0% thanks to the $850 million in new money from the state.

Doyle’s plan would technically achieve the same “freeze” level as the GOP’s plan, but only with the state subsidizing local spending.
