Sixth in the nation, 1st in the Midwest

Unfortunately, I'm not referring to one of our local basketball teams. A new study on state taxes has Wisconsin ranked as the 6th highest tax burden, numero uno in the midwest.

It gets worse.
A third measure, focusing only on the "big three" state and local taxes that most individuals pay - income, sales and property taxes - ranked Wisconsin third overall, behind only New York and Maine, the group said.
We're number three!
