State Senate Democrats unveiled an economic stimulus package at the Capitol on Wednesday. The plan, Wisconsin Invests Now, includes $50 million more for road construction, $5 million in tech college retraining grants, expansion of the Technology Zone tax credit program, and an additional $8 million in renewable fuels loans and grants, all paid for by removing the so-called "Las Vegas" corporate tax loophole that allows corporations doing business here to avoid paying their share of state income taxes. Republicans in the Senate and Assembly were quick to label the Wisconsin Invests Now plan as nothing more than increased taxes and spending.
