Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers took language that originally applied a $325 increase in revenue K-12 public schools can raise per student for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years, and instead vetoed the “20″ and the hyphen to make the end date 2425.
Wednesday after gutting a Republican tax cut and using his broad veto powers to increase school funding for centuries.
Evers reduced the GOP income tax cut from $3.5 billion to $175 million, and did away entirely with lower rates for the two highest earning brackets. He also used his partial veto power to increase how much revenue K-12 public schools can raise per student by $325 a year until 2425. “There are lots of wins here,” Evers said of the budget at a signing ceremony surrounded by Democratic lawmakers, local leaders, members of his Cabinet and others.
In 2000, voters prohibited what was known as the “Vanna White” veto, which allowed governors to strike individual letters within words to create new meaning. And eight years later, the constitution was amended again to outlaw the “Frankenstein veto,” when the governor at the time struck words in two or more sentences to create a new sentence.three of Evers’ partial vetoes as being too broad, but the justices could not agree on standards to guide future vetoes.
Republicans proposed tapping nearly half of the state’s projected $7 billion budget surplus to cut income taxes across the board and reduce the number of brackets from four to three. Another of Evers’ vetoes removed a measure that would have prohibited Medicaid payments for gender-affirming care. The governor accused Republicans of “perpetuating hateful, discriminatory, and anti-LGBTQ policies and rhetoric” with the proposal.
