Wisconsin
Wisconsin owns more than it owes. |
Wisconsin has a $1,100 Taxpayer Surplus.™ |
Wisconsin is a Sunshine State with enough assets to cover its debt. |
Elected officials have created a Taxpayer Surplus™, which is each taxpayer's share of money available after state bills have been paid. |
TIA's Taxpayer Surplus™ measurement incorporates both assets and liabilities, not just pension debt. |
Wisconsin has $27.5 billion of assets available to pay the state's bills totaling $25.1 billion. |
Wisconsin has $2.4 billion available after bills have been paid, which breaks down to $1,100 per taxpayer. |
Wisconsin's reported net position is overstated by $1.7 billion, largely because the state delays recognizing losses incurred when the net pension liability increases. |
The state's financial report was released 173 days after its fiscal year end, which is considered timely according to the 180 day standard. |
