Thursday, December 29th, 2022 -- 1:00 PM

(Raymond Neupert, WRN) State Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu wants Republicans and Democrats to work together to handle a projected massive tax surplus.

The Oostberg Republican tells WOMT radio that he's spoken with Democrat Governor Tony Evers, as has Assembly Speaker Robin Vos. LeMahieu says Wisconsin needs to change its tax rates and says that Wisconsin's top tax bracket is higher than neighboring states.

LeMahieu has been pushing for a flat tax in Wisconsin. Governor Evers is opposed to that plan and says he wants to provide tax cuts to low and middle-income residents and send more money to communities through state aid.
