US EditionRepublicans plan to ax hundreds of items from Gov. Tony Evers' budget
- On March 26, Wisconsin Republicans met to begin removing more than 600 items from Governor Tony Evers' 2025-27 budget proposal.
- Republicans, controlling the Legislature, plan these removals because they view Evers' proposed budget as fiscally irresponsible and disagree on tax cuts.
- The scaled-back budget would exclude major proposals like Medicaid expansion, a new high-income tax bracket, and funding for child care, while aiming for a balanced budget.
- Governor Evers insists any tax plan must be part of the budget and calls for investing in education and middle-class tax cuts, while Republicans seek tax reductions and no new spending.
- The Joint Finance Committee will vote on the amended budget on Thursday, with the final version requiring legislative approval and Governor Evers’ signature to become law.
