MADISON – Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke (R-Kaukauna) released the following statement following Governor Evers vetoing the Middle Class Tax Cut legislation that Assembly Republicans introduced last month:

“It’s disappointing to have Governor Evers put politics above policy. Our legislation accomplished his campaign promise of cutting taxes on the middle class, and did so without harming our small businesses and job creators.

“Ultimately, we put forth a good faith effort of bipartisan legislation, and it’s unfortunate to not see Governor Evers’ actions match his words. Despite this step backwards, I remain committed to continuing finding paths to common ground and compromise.”
