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.

Hearsay will not hold up in court.
Much like those who voted for obammy thinking he was going to pay all their
bills.
My understanding was that Walker would no longer collect dues for the
teachers unions, something the government shouldn't be doing, and allowing
the teachers to pay it themselves, which they(most) declined to do. So how
is that gutting the education system?
