Yes....It's just that the governor made a promise he had no business
making in the first place, that is one of the reasons he got into office.

From a recent Wisconsin newspaper:

Highlights of Walker's state budget proposal

TAXES: Property taxes on the median-valued $151,000 home would remain about the same, dropping $5 this year and $5 next year, at a cost of $280 million. There are no changes to sales or income taxes.


And from what he campaigned on over a year ago:

Scott Walker promises property tax cut, lower income tax withholding

Madison -- The state is projected to take in hundreds of millions of dollars more than expected in tax collections through June 2015, prompting Gov. Scott Walker to propose cutting taxes for the third time in less than a year.

Walker said his plan -- to be spelled out Jan. 22 in his "state of the state" address -- will include a property tax cut and a decrease in how much is withheld in income taxes from workers' pay throughout the year. The withholding changes would mean that Wisconsin residents would see more money in each paycheck upfront rather than in their spring income tax refunds."



So, I don't know what happened in the year just ended, but it looks like
what Walker is submitting as a proposed budget actually has a tax
decrease over the next two years.
And note that the headline from a year ago that says "Scott Walker promises.."
is the newspaper headline. In the article, I don't see Walker saying
he promises it, only that he proposes doing it. He isn't a dictator and
still has the legislature to deal with, no? I'd actually be surprised
where Walker outright promised a property tax decrease, but if you
can show us, I'd be happy to look at it.




I don't recall seeing his promise in writing, just hearing it from all
those who voted for him.
