The Latest: Walker income, sales tax cuts to be rejected

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Latest on the Wisconsin state budget (all times local):2:40 p.m.

Gov. Scott Walker's proposals to cut income and sales taxes are being rejected by the Legislature's budget committee.

Co-chairs of the Joint Finance Committee said Wednesday they will not be including the tax cuts in the state budget. The panel plans to complete its work on the $76 billion spending plan later Wednesday or early Thursday.

Walker had wanted to cut income taxes an average of $44 per taxpayer. He also called for a sales tax holiday one weekend in August for certain back-to-school items.
