Brookfield Representative Pushes for Chiropractic Exam Repeal

State Rep. Dale Kooyenga, R-Brookfield, is among legislators who feel the national board are sufficient for allowing chiropractors to practice in Wisconsin.

Zach Chudy moved away from Waukesha so he could pursue his dream of joining his father’s chiropractic office. After years of school, hard work and a few trips between Iowa and Wisconsin sprinkled in, he is ready to leave Palmer Chiropractic College to finish his clinical hours at Chudy Chiropractic Clinic on North Grandview Boulevard in Waukesha where Chudy hopes to work after graduation. But a state chiropractic exam — enacted in 2009 — has him worried about taking over the family business in Wisconsin. And a Brookfield legislator is among those who "has his back." After accruing significant costs for chiropractic school and taking strenuous national boards to be a licensed chiropractor, he’s upset that he has to take “an unfair exam” …

Your argument is invalid. Wisconsin already requires DC's to pass Part I, Part II, Part III, and Part IV of the National Chiropractic Board Exams and a jurisprudence exam that covers laws specific to Wisconsin.

State Assembly Republicans Eye Cutting Some Tax Credits

The days of claiming the alternative minimum tax credit, historic rehabilitation tax credit and the working family tax credit may be over as State Assembly Republicans look at possibly cutting them.

If you were among the 790 families that claimed the working family tax credit or the 418 who claimed the historic rehabilitation tax credit, the 2012 tax year may be your last to do so. State Assembly Republicans are talking about nixing 50 tax credit programs -- including the alternative minimum tax, working family tax credit and historic rehabilitation tax credit -- that don't get used much by Wisconsin income taxpayers. The manufacturer's tax credit would remain untouched. If a proposal passes into law, the legislation would ultimately lower the tax rate, according to a story by the Journal Sentinel. Rep. Dale Kooyenga (R-Brookfield) told the Journal Sentinel that he's trying to simplify the tax code because it is "horrendous" and …

  In just his second term in the State Assembly, Rep. Dale Kooyenga (R-Brookfield), who represents a large part of Brookfield and Wauwatosa, has been appointed to the Joint Finance Committee.
