That seems to be what Rep. Nass and Rep. Huebsch and the rest of the Assembly Republicans seem to be doing. Cut after cut to the UW budget, cutting public school education funding, cutting compassionate care for rape victims, cutting healthcare accessibility, etc. etc. etc.
The latest victim: the Homestead Tax Credit. This tax credit is for low-income people who own a home. It is designed to lessen the impact of property taxes for those can't afford them. According to today's Isthmus, Republican lawmakers want to limit this particular tax credit to only low-income seniors over the age of 65 or to those who are married or have dependents. Not just for those can't afford it.
Wait... I thought the Republicans were big on giving tax refunds and not wanting to raise property taxes?!
Quoted in the Isthmus, Jennifer Luckhardt, a Madison resident, had this to say about the Republicans in the Assembly:
"They just want to strip everything away from us. They want to strip all of our social services. They've got no hearts, no morals, no souls."
