MADISON, WI – Today, Senate Democrats announced their unanimous opposition to the Republican-proposed budget, which undermines public education, guts childcare funding, provides massive tax breaks for millionaires, and slashes higher education support.

“Republicans, in their proposed budget, have made it crystal clear who they’re fighting for,” said Democratic Leader Melissa Agard. “They’re prioritizing tax breaks for the wealthy over childcare and undermining our university system and public schools at the expense of our students, teachers, and support staff. Senate Democrats stand firm in our opposition to this budget and are committed to providing a check to the reckless approach of Madison Republicans.”
