After Governor’s Budget Vetoes, State Sits on $4 Billion Budget Surplus

Friday, July 28, 2023 9:21 AM | WiSCA (Administrator)

Earlier this month, Gov. Tony Evers signed the $99 billion state budget bill sent to him by the GOP-controlled Legislature, but not before using his powerful veto pen to make 51 vetoes to the two-year spending plan for the state.

One of the Governor’s vetoes eliminated $3.3 billion in income tax cuts approved by lawmakers. Primarily because of this veto, the state of Wisconsin is projected to have a balance of more than $4 billion at the end of the 2024-25 fiscal year. Prior to Evers vetoes, the projected balance was $588 million.

Republican lawmakers are expected to send another tax cut to the Governor via a stand-alone bill prior to the end of the 2023-24 legislative session.
