The Committee of Five—John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert Livingston, and Roger Sherman—was appointed to draft the Declaration of Independence 250 years ago today.

Jefferson's draft of the document is here at the Library, and will be featured in a new exhibition opening July 3.

NEW: A staggering 71 percent of Wisconsin employers report an increase in their property tax bill for owned or leased commercial property over the past year.

"We’re already among the highest-taxed states in the nation, with top-10 individual and property tax burdens and a top-12 corporate tax burden,” said @Kurt_R_Bauer. “Property taxes are a punishing fixed cost, owed whether a business is just starting out, expanding, or struggling. With Governor Evers’ 400-year autopilot increase, Wisconsin is on track to climb even higher.”

Happy Statehood Day Wisconsin! You’re sharper than ever! Keep on aging, you get better every year! 🧀🎂🥳

And WI could leapfrog even higher at 17.70% (see AB 1209)! This would stifle small businesses & harm WI workers. Other states are cutting their income taxes & even working to eliminate them. WI can’t afford to fall behind as other states prosper. We must move FORWARD, not ⏪⏪⏪

"Deal with it." Governor Evers says your 400-year property tax increase is here to stay, doubling down on dumb and vetoing my bill to undo it. Thankfully, my bill passed for a constitutional amendment this fall, which lets you decide if future governors can use the partial veto pen to raise your taxes.

“WMC is a major proponent of tax relief for Wisconsin families and businesses, but Governor Evers’ actions, as it relates to property taxes, speak louder than his words. If Governor Evers is serious about tax relief, the obvious solution is to repeal his highly dubious 400-year autopilot tax increase.” - @ManleyWMC

On this day in 1863, Abraham Lincoln delivers his famous Gettysburg Address. The president's critics initially dismiss the 90-second speech as "ludicrous" and "silly." It will later be held up as the most brilliant piece of oratory in U.S. history.

[Arthur MacWaters @ArthurMacwaters]

before 1913, the US *didn't* have an income tax

the argument for passing it was "only the rich will pay, and only 1%"

the revenue became heroin for government spending

so income tax quickly expanded to 100% of families and a much larger fraction of income

there's a lesson here

Honoring all who served. Thank you Veterans!

After Governor Gavin Newsom claimed California is the top manufacturing state, WMC's Scott Manley joined the Vicki McKenna Show to set the record straight.
"We have more than twice as many manufacturing jobs per capita as California." https://t.co/lBH46vkQNX
