Wisconsin #1 in property taxes

Oh, but we're not a tax hell.
Bravo to the editorial board at the Wisconsin State Journal for writing a piece on the latest studies showing Wisconsin property taxes are insane.
There is a mountain of data proving what homeowners know all too well. And yet, while the people out working hard every day to pay these outrageous taxes understand it, local units of government and the state keep spending and spending and spending and spending and spending.
And they keep asking for more tax increases.
And they keep asking for more fee increases.
And they wonder why people put up FOR SALE signs and move out of the Badger State.
And they wonder why businesses leave and take their jobs with them.
And they wonder why prospective businesses decide to go elsewhere.
It's the taxes, stupid!
