As chair of the Ways and Means Committee, Rep. John Macco has held five public hearings on taxation in Wisconsin.
In an interview with the Wheeler Report, Macco said the hearings were an opportunity for the committee to understand the tax structure in Wisconsin, allowing all the committee members to have a fundamental understanding of where the revenue comes from, who pays it, how it’s handled, and where it goes. Macco said he was glad the committee concluded by having the Towns, Villages, Municipalities, and Counties testify last because it brought everything together. Macco emphasized that he thought the committee hearings were a success, saying committee members had excellent questions, and it deepened everyone’s understanding of the issues.
