Walker budget would raise taxes and fees by $48 million

MADISON - An analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau finds that Gov. Scott Walker's budget would raise taxes and fees by $48 million.

The report released Monday also determines that Walker proposals to bolster tax collection would bring in nearly $125 million in additional revenue over the next two years.

The bulk of the tax increase, $22 million, is Walker's proposal to delay implementation of a law that expanded when retailers could claim certain sales tax reductions for bad debt.
