MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Tony Evers is proposing a $600 million annual tax cut, an election year proposal that’s all but certain to be summarily rejected by the Republican-controlled Legislature. Evers announced the likely doomed tax cut at the same time Tuesday as his Republican rival, Tim Michels, was touring Kenosha on the second anniversary of sometimes violent protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Michels has made Eves’ reaction to the unrest in Kenosha a key plank of his campaign against the Democratic incumbent. The proposal from Evers comes just five months after the Legislature rejected another tax cut he proposed that was nearly three times as large and included a $150 rebate to taxpayers.
