MADISON, WI – SSDC Executive Director Andrew Whitley on today’s Dane County Circuit Court ruling:
“We respectfully disagree with the Judge’s decision today. The facts of the case remain the same: Michele Magadance Skinner and her husband benefited from thousands of dollars in tax breaks only given to households where both husband and wife claim residency in Georgia. Additionally, by her own admission, Michele Magadance Skinner willingly gave up Wisconsin residency in 2021 yet still received property tax breaks only given to Wisconsin residents. Magadance Skinner and her husband should pay back the thousands of dollars in tax breaks they shouldn’t have received in the first place, and hope that she’ll proactively do so.
Now it’s up to the voters to decide – someone who carelessly maneuvers around the law or a lifelong public servant who has fought his entire career to lower costs, fight corruption, and prioritize working families. The choice is easy.”
