WHITEFISH BAY, WI (WSAU) — Governor Tony Evers has signed the 2021-2023 state budget into law, including a 10% tax cut for middle-class families.
“In many ways, this budget presents a false choice between the priorities the people this state care about and deserve,” said Gov. Evers in a press release. “But after a long eight years of politicians making decisions for all the wrong reasons, I ran to be the governor of this state and promised I would always put people before politics—that I would always try to do the right thing, that I would work to find common ground, and that I would make decisions based on what’s best for our kids and our state.
“I made a promise when I ran for governor—I promised I would cut taxes for middle-class families by 10 percent. Today, I am keeping my word,” Gov. Evers continued. “This morning, I’m providing more than $2 billion in tax relief and cutting taxes for middle-class families at a time when our economy and families need it most.”
The Governor also announced some 50 line-item vetoes from the budget, which were explained in a 49-page document included with the press release following his event in Whitefish Bay. You can see the items vetoed by clicking the PDF at the top of this story.
Evers will also hold events in Eau Claire and Green Bay to discuss the budget later today.
