What a poorly written article. The reason she paid no INCOME tax is because she didn't make any money that year. All the money went back into her company. Her company did pay taxes.

You do not know that for sure, do you? Bianchini declined to comment when asked whether Hendricks, who is chairman of ABC, had other income such as salary or dividends that could have been taxed in 2010.

He also declined to say why ABC's tax bill in 2010 was so low compared with what Hendricks had paid on its behalf in prior years, when its profits flowed to her bottom line.

"Diane is not willing to divulge any more," Bianchini said. "ABC converted to a 'C' corporation - that's a substantial part of why there's no 2010 tax liability (for Hendricks)."

He added that there were other reasons Hendricks paid zero state income taxes in 2010.

"We're just not willing to get into it," Bianchini said. "It's just digging, in our opinion, too deep into her taxes."

Hendricks, who worked with her husband, Kenneth, in building ABC, became chairman of the company after her husband died in 2007. The company now posts annual revenue of more than $4 billion.

Jon Peacock, research director of the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families - a liberal-leaning advocacy group - said the lack of a 2010 tax liability can make people question the fairness of the state tax code.

"It creates a suspicion that there is some gaming of the tax system going on," Peacock said.

Todd Berry, president of the nonpartisan Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance, said legislators, not wealthy taxpayers, are to blame.

Joel M. Kleefisch (born June 8, 1971) is an American politician and a former television reporter.[2] His wife, Rebecca Kleefisch, is also in state politics as the current Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin.

On February 21, 2012, video was posted showing Kleefisch voting for absent members of the Assembly.[9] Though representatives claim that this practice is commonplace, and indeed legal as long as unseated members are actually inside the chamber itself,[10] claims by the person who captured the video that absent members had been absent for hours before the vote have spurred allegations of voter fraud.[9]

Daily Horoscope for May 24

Capricorn

If you need to get someone organized, this is the day to do it. You'll sort things out without sounding bossy or patronizing, and you'll also get co-operation instead of resistance. It's a good day for having a serious chat with a child, perhaps because you need to explain something and want to make sure you do it properly, in a way that doesn't create confusion or fear.
