Evers Pledges Veto of Republican Tax Cut Plan

Thursday, September 7th, 2023 -- 11:00 AM

(Bob Hague, WRN) The governor rejects a Republican tax cut proposal.

Democratic Governor Tony Evers posted Wednesday on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, calling the $2.9 billion tax cut that Republicans in the state Assembly plan to pass next week  “irresponsible.”

Evers rejected a similar Republican proposal when he signed the state budget in July. Evers and Republican legislative leaders remain at odds over the state government’s projected $4 billion surplus, with the governor calling for investments in education, health care and child care.
