Senator Steve Nass (R-Whitewater) issued the following statement in response to the state budget impasse between Governor Evers and Assembly Republicans on one side and the Senate Republicans on the right side:
“Since early spring, the Assembly Republican leadership has been trying to get a deal with Governor Evers on the 2025-27 biennial budget. The outline to the deal has been the same for weeks: too much spending, special interest pork and the creation of a structural deficit.
Many Senate Republicans have resisted this recipe for fiscal disaster and have been advocating for making tough but fair spending decisions.
Unfortunately, some legislators in the Capitol would rather cut a bad deal for the taxpayers with a Governor that calls women ‘inseminated persons’ and uses his extremist majority on the State Supreme Court to gut the constitutional powers of the Legislature.
There is nothing preventing the Republican majority in the Legislature from passing a conservative state budget except for the lack of willingness at the highest levels in the Assembly.”
