The Legislators Are Hearing The Voices of the Crowd: NO MORE TAX INCREASES, The RTA Tax Gets Defeated In Convicing Fashion

On Thursday the Wisconsin Legislative Joint Finance Committie soundly defeated in a 8-8 deadlock the new 600% increase in car rentals in Southeast Wisconsin levied by the The Southeast Wisconsin Regional Transportation Authority. This sends a huge message, one taxpayers are finally had enough with tax increases and also taxpayer funded lobbying because out of the $500,000 in taxpayer money they got, $496,000 goes to lobbying on your taxpayer money. The tax is already $2, but a $16 increase means if it went on, it meant more lobbying and a total waste of taxpayer money. If it was not for the pressure AFP-Wisconsin put on the Joint Finance Committie, then Wisconsin would see more taxes being added on. This proves that AFP is a force to be reckoned with.
