Kwik Trip
Gov. Scott Walker's administration plans to give up to $21 million in tax giveaways to Kwik Trip, a convenience store chain whose owners and employees have contributed more than $90,000 to the Republican governor.
Last month, the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp., the state's economic development agency, announced that Kwik Trip could receive up to $21 million in income tax credits for a $300 million expansion project in La Crosse. The company claims the project will directly create more than 300 jobs. The amount of state aid the company receives depends on how many jobs the project actually creates during the next five years.
In addition to the tax breaks, two GOP lawmakers are introducing a bill at the request of Kwik Trip that would cut administrative requirements for state alcohol and tobacco permits. The proposal would change the application process for an alcohol license and permit, and a retailer license for cigarette and tobacco products, by removing the requirement that two corporate officers sign the application and that it be notarized. Under the proposal, the applications would only need a company officer's.
