MADISON — The John K. MacIver Institute for Public Policy released the following statement from CEO Annette Olson regarding the Wisconsin state budget:
“There is no sense for conservatives to continue negotiating with Gov. Evers, who has proven himself supremely untrustworthy. Now is the time for leaders in the legislature to step up and actually lead.
“For years, the legislature has just taken the last budget and slapped more spending on top of it. This impasse provides an opportunity to do something that is radically sensible: start at zero and build a conservative budget from the ground up incorporating real reforms. The special interests and big spenders would kick and scream, but taxpayers would finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief.”
