Taxpayer Protection Amendment new attempt on tax plan

State Republican lawmakers have introduced another draft of their plan to amend the Wisconsin Constitution to limit how much money governments can raise, in hopes of garnering votes within their own party.

The latest version of the plan, nicknamed the Taxpayer Protection Amendment, includes rules that could limit public employees’ salaries, prevent transferring money from one state fund to another and set up a statewide cap on school district revenue.
