Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu
In response to Governor Tony Evers’ special session call, Senator Devin LeMahieu and his fellow Senate Republicans have unveiled what they are calling a “historic workforce package”.
According to the Senate Majority Leader, the measure makes investments in Wisconsin’s child care industry paired with a $2 billion middle-class tax cut and “meaningful reforms” that LeMahieu says will “get Wisconsin back to work.”
He explained to Seehafer News that “Under this plan, a family of four with two children in child care could earn a total tax credit of up to $5,200. Offsetting almost a quarter of their total average child care costs.”
Additionally, “The average Wisconsin family would receive an additional $600 tax cut. Every Wisconsinite making $27,630 or more would see a reduction in their tax bill.”
LeMahieu ended his statement by saying “Governor Evers has said that he would provide tax relief for the middle class in exchange for state-level investments in the child care industry. We hope he keeps his word.”
