Issue Position: Controlling Spending and Cutting Taxes

Issue Position

Over the last four years, Devin voted for real tax reforms to make Wisconsin's tax code simpler and help taxpayers:

Eliminated the state property tax
Partially eliminated the personal property tax which hurts small businesses
Reduced the "marriage penalty" for income tax returns
However, tax reform does not have to come at the expense of fiscal responsibility. The two budgets supported by Devin authorized the lowest amount of overall borrowing in the last twenty years. The state's pension system is fully funded, and the rainy day fund is at its highest amount in state history. Last year, three national agencies upgraded Wisconsin's bond rating.

Devin's plan for spending and taxes is simple: balance the state budget, just like how Wisconsin families need to balance their checkbooks. He will also keep fighting to simplify the tax code while lowering the overall tax burden.
