Scott Walker makes case for property, income tax cuts

MADISON, Wis. — Gov. Scott Walker made the case in his State of the State speech Wednesday that extra money collected thanks to an improving national economy should be returned as property and income tax cuts, even as some Republicans are saying his proposal goes too far.

Walker, in a speech that also doubled as an argument for his re-election in November, asked lawmakers to approve $504 million in property and income tax cuts over the next 17 months.
