approved by the Republican-controlled Legislature earlier this year. It will return an estimated $122 million to qualified taxpayers by Sept. 1, a couple months before Walker is on the


ballot for re-election. Democrats have assailed the rebate, and a five-day sales tax holiday in August, as nothing more than election-year bribes. Rebates will be made either through direct


deposit or a mailed check. _© Copyright 2025 by The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed._
