Tomorrow is Tax Day, and to mark the occasion WCCF’s Wisconsin Budget Project has launched a new website located at www.wisconsinbudgetproject.org featuring, among other things, an excellent Budget Basics Guide and a new quiz to test you knowledge of state tax and spending matters. The Budget Basics Guide covers everything from where the state’s revenue comes from to what it gets spend on to how the budget gets created. The quiz poses questions about where Wisconsin ranks among the states on a variety of tax and spending measures.

In addition to the website and the quiz, the Budget Project also released today a new brief titled “How Does Wisconsin Compare in State and Local Spending and Expenditure Growth?” The brief examines how spending in Wisconsin has changed over time, and addresses the question of whether our budget difficulties can be resolved by relying primarily on spending cuts.
