So for an encore, the Walker reelection campaign had to come up with another completely unmatchable feat. And they did; getting rid of the state income tax. 

And that's what got the headlines. What didn't get as much attention were the caveats; maybe not all income taxes would go away, and oh by the way, the sales tax would have to increase.
