Madison, WI – Today, Governor Evers signed the 2023-2025 Biennial Budget with several glaring vetoes. Rep. Katsma issued the following statement in response:
“Instead of supporting our middle class tax cut, Governor Evers chose to drastically reduce the amount of tax relief available to Wisconsin families.
The Republican Legislature included $3.5 Billion in income tax relief to every Wisconsin taxpayer. Gov. Evers vetoed that tax plan and instead provided only $175 Million in income tax relief to families making less than $36,840 a year. This results in an income tax cut that is less than 6% of our Republican income tax plan. We put forward a responsible budget that returned taxpayer dollars to you, the taxpayer. Governor Evers thinks it is better to keep your money here in Madison so that he can pay for the items on his liberal wish list. Legislative Republicans think that you know how to best spend your money, not Governor Evers. I remain committed to finding ways to decrease your tax burden and I will continue to fight for you, the people of the 26th Assembly District.”
