Tony Evers was on UPFRONT on Milwaukee TV over the weekend, and walked back his promise to veto the budget of Republicans tax cuts, and the plan to trim $32 million from the University of Wisconsin\u2019s budget.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not going to predict whether it\u2019s going to come this time in that fashion to begin with,\u201d the governor said. \u201cThe fact of the matter is, there\u2019s lots of time left of the budget has not been concluded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The budget-writing Joint Finance Committee last week set the stage for the final budget votes, expected this week, by approving a $4.4 billion tax cut package, and the final UW budget.<\/p>\n<p>Evers last week said he wouldn\u2019t sign either of those pieces of the new spending plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want a middle-class tax cut. I don\u2019t want it a tax cut that is primarily for the wealthy in the state of Wisconsin. And I believe the University of Wisconsin system should be well-funded. And now we have a situation where, you know, at least that $32 million is is retained. And so a lot of moving parts and I\u2019m not backing off where my belief system is. And we\u2019ll just see what happens,\u201d Evers added.<\/p>\n<p>He said he is not abandoning his previous threats, but did try to walk a finer line.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not going to get into what I\u2019m going to veto or something or not feel something, because I believe at the end of the day, we\u2019ll be in a good position,\u201d the governor said.<\/p>\n<p>Evers did say he will not veto the entire two-year spending plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it would mess it up,\u201d Evers said. \u201cThe fact of the matter is we passed the legislation making that happen, but the money is obviously part of the budget so we will see. As you know, I also have partial veto authority, and that is always something we are going to be looking at.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers return to the Capitol Tuesday. The new state budget is due to the governor by the end of the month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post originally appeared at https:\/\/www.wisconsinrightnow.com\/gov-evers-tries-to-walk-line-on-budget-vetoes\/ Wisconsin\u2019s governor is taking a wait-and-see approach to the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":1146,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3851","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wi-right-now"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3851","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/70"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3851"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3851\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3853,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3851\/revisions\/3853"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3851"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
