ALEXANDRIA, VA - Americans for Job Security President Stephen DeMaura issued the following statement in the wake of statements from Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker that indicate he would reduce individual state income taxes if Congress enacts the Marketplace Fairness Act:

"Scott Walker is yet another leader who demonstrates why the Marketplace Fairness Act is tax reform that all conservatives should get behind. Like the Republican legislators in Ohio who recently approved language that will reduce that state's income tax if the Marketplace Fairness Act is adopted, Governor Walker has indicated he will lower the tax burden on all Wisconsin citizens when Congress approves this needed reform. The Marketplace Fairness Act gets government out of the business of picking winners and losers by putting brick-and-mortar outlets on the same tax footing as online retail stores. The changes in sales tax collection will allow governors like Scott Walker to reduce the overall tax burden on the residents of their states. We applaud Governor Walker's leadership and urge the House to follow the Senate's lead and approve the Marketplace Fairness Act in a timely fashion."
