Conservatively Speaking

State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago. Senator Lazich has been in the Legislature for more than a decade. She considers herself a tireless crusader for lower taxes, reduced spending and smaller government.

Alabama and Oklahoma have the earliest Tax Freedom Day

Today, Thursday, April 12, taxpayers in Alabama and Oklahoma get to celebrate. Taxpayers in those states have the earliest Tax Freedom Day in America. Tax Freedom Day is the day taxpayers finally stop working to pay off all their taxes and can start keeping earnings for themselves.

The news isn’t as good for Wisconsin. Wisconsin has to wait another 20 days before Tax Freedom Day arrives on May 2, the thirteenth –latest Tax Freedom Day in the United States, even later than the national average Tax Freedom Day of April 30.

The Tax Freedom Day report by the Tax Foundation in Washington D.C. is yet another glaring example of Wisconsin’s heavy tax burden.
