BizTimes Morning Headlines: Walker says Internet sales tax would help lower income tax 

    If Congress enacts an Internet sales tax-collection law, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker would use the extra money to reduce individual state income taxes.

     

    “That would do more to fuel the economy. Most employers pay individual, not corporate income taxes,” the governor said at a Forward Manufacturing Roundtable at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College in Green Bay.
