Making Wisconsin Colder

Thanks to strong pressure from Conservatives all over Wisconsin, we have a good Property Tax Freeze in the works.

I am told that yesterday, Mike Ellis met with the Assembly GOP Caucus and apologized for his "kool-aid" comments. This was a significant conciliatory gesture on his part. Apparently, both he, and some of the lobbyists, were a bit frustrated with the heat that they were feeling from the right after going wobbly on us regarding the Property Tax Freeze. They felt that heat because of folks like you. Thanks.

The result is that we now have a compromise Property Tax Freeze that will pass both houses of the legislature (barring some unforeseen circumstance). It will freeze property taxes at the 2004 levels except for actual growth. This is a good bill. If you called and yelled at your legislators, be sure to call them back and thank them for supporting this bill.
