MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A coalition of powerful business groups in Wisconsin are coming out against a proposal from Gov. Scott Walker’s Department of Transportation that would increase taxes and fees by more than $750 million. The statewide chamber of commerce, the National Federation of Independent Business, the Wisconsin Motor Carriers Association and the state Restaurant Association were among 10 groups that issued a statement Monday raising concerns about the tax and fee increases proposed. They say they want to work with Walker and the Legislature on transportation funding solutions that are “fair and equitable.” Walker told The Associated Press last week that significant changes were needed to the Transportation Department’s budget request, but didn’t say what those would be. Walker will release his budget early next year.
