Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty has filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the Wisconsin Supreme Court on behalf of the Brown County Taxpayers Association. In June twenty-three, Governor Evers used his veto pen to authorize increases to the property tax levy limit for school districts. By striking out some select numerals, he changed the three hundred twenty-five dollar per student increase intended for just the twenty twenty-three, twenty twenty-four school year so that the increase happens annually until the year two thousand four hundred twenty-five.

This type of veto should clearly be illegal; fortunately there’s now a lawsuit challenging its validity. As WILL points out, what the governor has done does not represent anything the legislature approved. This is a clear disregard for the separation of powers and undermines the integrity of our governing institutions.
