Gov. Jim Doyle on Wednesday laid out a plan to allow middle-class families to deduct the entire cost of college tuition, books and fees from their taxes as part of the next biennial budget.
Doyle made the announcement during a campaign stop at Reeve Memorial Union on the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh campus Wednesday afternoon. Under his proposal, single parents earning $50,000 or less and couples earning $80,000 or less would be able to deduct tuition expenses of up to $6,000, the current cost to attend UW-Madison, for any public or private university and technical colleges.
