(WRN) -State Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald says he'd like to address property taxes in the remainder of the current legislative session."I'm not saying everybody's property tax bill went up, but it sounds like a number of people have experienced that already with the tax bill that they just received in the mailbox."
In a year-end interview, the Juneau Republican said state revenue projections lead him to believe that a property tax cut might be possible.
"We probably are going to have some new numbers that are going to increase what's available. I would prefer to see that used to lower the property tax bill in Wisconsin."
Fitzgerald also said there may not be Senate support for a package to address homelessness, and he also reiterated his opposition to medical marijuana. He also said the state could pick up costs for technical colleges, which would allow the technical college districts to cut their property taxes.
