MADISON, WI (AP)-- Governor Scott Walker is promising that property taxes will not increase through 2018 if he is re-elected this year.
Walker made the commitment during a speech Wednesday before the Wisconsin Realtors Association.
Walker is not releasing details of how he will do it, saying only that it will involve a mixture of spending restraints on local governments and aid from the state.
A property tax cut proposal Walker is pushing through the Legislature this year relies on replacing property tax money raised by technical colleges with state money.
Walker released a chart that projects property taxes on a median-valued home would be $1 less in 2018 than they are on bills mailed this December.
