Tony Evers uses veto powers to extend annual increases for public schoolsfor the next four centuries
July 6, 2023
MADISON – Gov. Tony Evers, a former public school educator, used his broad partial veto authority this week to sign into law a new state budget that increases funding for public schools for the next four centuries.
The surprise move will ensure districts' state-imposed limits on how much revenue they are allowed to raise will be increased by $325 per student each year until 2425, creating a permanent annual stream of new revenue for public schools and potentially curbing a key debate between Democrats and Republicans during each state budget-writing cycle.
Evers told reporters at a press conference in the Wisconsin State Capitol on Wednesday his action would "provide school districts with predictable long-term increases for the foreseeable future."
Evers crafted the four-century school aid extension by striking a hyphen and a "20" from a reference to the 2024-25 school year. The increase of $325 per student is the highest single-year increase in revenue limits in state history.
The veto was one of more than four dozen the Democratic governor made to reshape the $99 billion two-year state budget Republicans passed last week. Among the vetoes was the majority of the centerpiece of Republican lawmakers' budget plan: a $3.5 billion tax cut that focused relief for the state's wealthiest residents.
Instead, the reshaped budget will provide $175 million in tax relief and won't condense the state's four income tax brackets into three as Republicans proposed, according to the governor.
Evers said last year he would not sign a budget that included tax relief for wealthy residents and GOP lawmakers crafted the budget in a way that would allow him to veto the changes to the top bracket to ensure the entire the budget would not be scrapped, according to Rep. Evan Goyke, the ranking Democratic member of the Legislature's budget-writing committee.
Even so, Republican lawmakers blasted Evers for the move − calling the pair of vetoes to cut the income tax plan and to create permanent increases for schools an assault on taxpayers and going back on his campaign promise to enact a middle-class tax cut. Part of Evers' veto action includes scrapping reductions for residents earning between $36,840 and $405,550 each year.
“Legislative Republicans worked tirelessly over the last few months to block Governor Evers’ liberal tax and spending agenda. Unfortunately, because of his powerful veto authority, he reinstated some of it today," Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, said in a statement.
“Vetoing tax cuts on the top two brackets provides hardly any tax relief for truly middle-class families. His decision also creates another economic disadvantage for Wisconsin, leaving our top bracket higher than most of our neighboring states, including Illinois."

Is Biden 'roadblocking' hunt for the West Wing cocaine culprit? Ex-border chief says White House cameras are everywhere and all guests are listed so whoever left drug COULD have been tracked down by now
July 6, 2023
Ex-CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan told DailyMail.com Secret Service should already have solved the mystery of who brought cocaine into the White House
Suggested that Biden administration might be 'roadblocking' the probe
Morgan's 'best guess' is the cocaine belonged to 'someone who was not working permanently at the White House' – but still could be a 'senior-level position'
The investigation into who brought cocaine into the White House should already be a closed case, according to former Border Commissioner and longtime FBI agent Mark Morgan.
With four days and all-hands on deck, Morgan questioned if the White House really wanted to find who responsible by suggesting a search could take 30 minutes, if they used all the resources at their disposal.
He suggested that the White House might be putting up roadblocks as the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) investigates the matter, claiming the investigation 'isn't complicated.'
'An investigation like this is pretty straightforward. Everybody that enters the White House is manifested,' he said to DailyMail.com, adding: 'They know who comes in, they know when they came in, they're checked, and there are video cameras everywhere.'
A uniformed Secret Service agent found cocaine Sunday at the White House. This led to a hazmat situation and brief evacuation of the premises. President Joe Biden was not on site at the time as he continued his long weekend with family in Camp David.

Interesting family
Major Democrat party players/owners and deeply committed racists & clearly in the ruling class since, well forever.
Democrats=racist, shocked pikachoo face incoming
Seems like skulking around on behalf of "the powers that be" can be very hazardous to one's health.
Also, avoid rowing on the Potomac or staying in tall buildings
or being in close proximity to red scarves
or concrete blocks primarily in the State of Arkansas
or dancing on a crowded dance floor
etc and so forth
ANOTHER ps:
The Bolling surname connects with the Byrds, another "ruling class elite" aka Democrat scum. Of COURSE there's OSS-CIA connections too.
[spoiler]Delenda est CIA[/spoiler}
Richard Bolling, namesake of many buildings and a real POS, hope he's plenty warm naow..
does not czech out
Like clockwork
