MADISON — Assembly Majority Leader Tyler August (R-Walworth) released the following statement regarding the bipartisan agreement reached between Governor Tony Evers, Speaker Robin Vos, and Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu:
“Over the last several months, our focus has been clear: return Wisconsin’s surplus to the hardworking taxpayers who created it while continuing to invest in key priorities like education and property tax relief. This agreement delivers on that goal.
“This package provides direct relief to taxpayers, delivers property tax relief statewide, eliminates the income tax on tips and overtime, and makes a historic investment in special education funding to help schools better meet the needs of students.
“For many homeowners, rising property values have also meant growing property tax pressure. This agreement helps address those concerns while maintaining Wisconsin’s strong fiscal position and a responsible approach to budgeting.
“Republicans fought hard to ensure this package focused on taxpayers, property tax relief, and long-term fiscal responsibility. I’m proud we were able to come together on a bipartisan agreement that returns money to taxpayers, supports education, and delivers real results for Wisconsin families.”
