Tony Evers signed the 2023-25 State Budget on Wednesday with a number of partial vetoes, including striking language that would have cut taxes for any individuals earning more than $25,520 and married couples earning more than $34,030. In total, his actions will raise taxes on these Wisconsinites by more than $3.3 billion over the plan approved by the state legislature.<\/p>\n<p>Following the governor\u2019s actions, Wisconsin Manufacturers &amp; Commerce (WMC) President &amp; CEO Kurt Bauer released the below statement:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cInstead of Wisconsinites getting $3.5 billion of their money back, Gov. Evers has all but eliminated any meaningful tax relief for middle-class families and small- and medium-sized businesses. This will hurt the state\u2019s competitiveness for attracting and retaining both employers and a talented workforce.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cHard-working middle-class families and employers who pay the individual income tax will be hurt most by Gov. Evers\u2019 actions. With a nearly $7 billion surplus, it is unconscionable and embarrassing that Wisconsinites will not see substantial income tax reform.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhile other states are enacting these forward-thinking reforms, Wisconsin is stuck in neutral. Reducing and flattening the state income tax would have brought us more in line with neighboring states \u2013 almost all of whom have a flat income tax of less than five percent.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cGov. Evers sent a message loud and clear to everyone in the state today. As long as he is in office, Wisconsin will continue to be a high-tax state for middle-class families and the businesses that are the backbone of our economy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">###<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wmc.org\/press-releases\/gov-evers-vetoes-middle-class-small-business-tax-cuts\/\">Gov.
