evers vetoes evers budget

Wisconsin taxpayers, on average, will see $537 less in tax relief under Gov. Tony Evers’ vetoes than they would have received under the GOP Legislature’s approved budget plan.

That’s according to a memo obtained by Wisconsin Right Now. It was authored by the non-partisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau.

Some liberals on Twitter tried to falsely paint the GOP plan as only helping the wealthy; however, the Fiscal Bureau memo shows that the middle class would have received more tax relief under the GOP plan. Evers’ plan strips those savings away from those middle-class taxpayers as well as from higher earners, such as small business owners.
