MADISON… Assembly Majority Leader Tyler August (R-Lake Geneva) released the following statement regarding the passage of the biennial state budget bill by the State Assembly:
“The Republican budget helps lower the tax burden on all Wisconsinites through a historic tax cut. We are sending the surplus back to its rightful owners – the taxpayers.
Republican priorities like transportation, schools, and our local governments will all see significant increases.
This budget holds agencies like the university system accountable by refocusing them on their mission of educating and training our future workforce, not liberal woke agendas.
Republicans believe taxpayers know how to spend their money better than Madison bureaucrats. Blocking the Democrats’ efforts to unnecessarily expand government beyond the taxpayers’ ability to pay will continue to be a priority.
I call on Governor Evers to put Wisconsinites above politics and sign this common sense budget.”
