Governor Tony Evers' 400 Year Tax

Governor Tony Evers' 400 Year Tax

Wisconsin’s partial veto has produced some of the most extraordinary examples of executive power in the country. In 2023, Gov. Tony Evers turned a two-year increase in school district revenue limits into one lasting until 2425 by striking just two digits and a hyphen. Now, Wisconsin voters will decide whether to rein in the governor’s veto pen by prohibiting the partial veto from being used to create or increase taxes and fees.
