The Republican-controlled Wisconsin Assembly plans to vote on a doomed $3 billion plan for cutting income taxes and on a constitutional amendment making it harder to raise taxes.
Both proposed amendments must pass the Senate and Assembly this session, and again in the 2025-2026 session, before they would be put before voters for approval. Evers has no say in the adoption of constitutional amendments.
Evers’ budget director has warned that cutting taxes more than $432 million over the next two years could jeopardize about $2.5 billion in federal pandemic relief money the state has received. Republican Rep. Mark Born dismissed that concern, calling it a threat from the Evers administration that won’t happen.
Evers has said he was open to reconsidering cutting taxes if Republicans would look at funding some of his priorities. Eversfor the Legislature next week to spend more than $1 billion for child care, the University of Wisconsin System, worker shortage programs and other areas.
