No sign of this one in Walker's two budgets either
Gov. Scott Walker pledged as a candidate to give a break to businesses that move here but are not subject to the corporate income tax.
"My proposal provides a relocation tax credit up to 50 percent of moving costs," he said in the 2010 campaign. "This tax credit is deferrable for up to 10 years, providing new businesses plenty of time to establish roots and grow their workforce."
Given there has been no such proposal, in either of the two budgets that cover Walker's term, we keep our rating on this promise at Stalled.
(Note: We rated as Promise Kept a Walker pledge on a different relocation measure. It provides a total personal income or corporate tax break for two years for businesses that relocate here.)
