Gov. Evers’ proposal to allow local municipalities to increase sales tax
Additional revenue would help support local governments with needs arising from the pandemic, UW expert says

This Friday, Gov. Tony Evers announced that his upcoming budget proposal will include a plan for individual counties and cities to raise their sales tax.
According to a press release, Evers’ 2021-23 biennial budget proposal will include a path for certain counties to add an additional 0.5% sales tax to Wisconsin’s statewide sales tax.
The state of Wisconsin currently has a 5% sales tax. Under Evers’ proposal, counties could impose an additional 0.5% sales tax on top of the statewide 5% tax if local residents support and approve the increase with a referendum.
The coronavirus was still a far-away problem in Wuhan when U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ban on travel from China in late January 2020. Six weeks later, as the coronavirus ravaged Italy, Trump closed travel from Europe.
These travel bans were highly controversial. Some people argued that they were unnecessary restrictions on travel. Others said they came too late. As New York’s COVID-19 case numbers shot upward, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the U.S. had “closed the front door with the China ban … but we left the back door wide open,” because the virus had already spread to other countries.

It s been a particularly difficult balancing act for working parents, who have had to juggle work with their familial responsibilities as they either pulled their children from daycare, or their school-age children were suddenly learning remotely as schools shifted to distance learning models.
