Do JR and Bobby know about this?
Does this so-called “Jock Tax” have anything to do with any kind of surtax on the incomes of the athletes involved?
If not, this is just stirring up the henhouse. To the degree to which the “jocks” contribute to the overall revenue to the state coffers, then it is perhaps altogether proper to distribute a like amount for the upkeep and retention of the sports franchise in Milwaukee, which they appear to be pretty keen on doing.
Just a line item expenditure in the budget that happens to coincide with the revenue received from a particular demographic.
Criticism for the sake of MAKING a criticism, where no real justification exists, is not at all helpful. But this is precisely the kind of allusion and innuendo that have been used on Scott Walker since he was first elected to office.
“Oh, LOOK! He is wearing red socks with white shoes, AFTER Labor Day!”
Just what the blazes does that have to do with ability to govern?
