Senator Dianne Hesselbein (D-Middleton), the Senate Democratic Leader, released the following statement in response to the Legislative Fiscal Bureau release of Revenue Estimates:
“It is good news for Wisconsin that the non-partisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau now estimates revenues at the end of the 2025-2027 biennium will exceed projections by over $1.5 billion.
This good news is a tribute to Wisconsin Democrats, who have prioritized investments in the people of Wisconsin that have improved our state’s economy, provided middle class tax relief, and helped make Wisconsin a state where businesses want to invest and families want to live.
The bi-partisan 2025-2027 budget, which I helped negotiate, advances those important priorities.
The people of Wisconsin expect that we will invest these increased revenues in initiatives that will lower costs, improve lives, and continue to help make Wisconsin a place where everyone can thrive.
Wisconsin Senate Democrats are focused on what we owe the people of Wisconsin: a thoughtful review of the options and decisions about investments that reflect the priorities of the people of Wisconsin, meet critical needs, and are sustainable over time.”
