MADISON, Wis. – Sen. Patrick Testin (R-Stevens Point) released the following statement after the Wisconsin Senate passed the 2025-27 state budget:
“As Senate vice-chair of the budget-writing Joint Finance Committee, I would like to thank my colleagues for all their hard work in putting together a biennial spending plan that moves Wisconsin forward and funds many of our core priorities. This budget is not perfect, but no budget ever is, especially when you have a split government and need to compromise to get things done.
“Even so, I am particularly proud that we are delivering $1.4 billion in tax relief that targets middle-class families and senior citizens living on fixed incomes. At the same time, we were still able to make key investments in healthcare, K-12 education, workforce development, child care, the Veterans Community Project and strengthening our infrastructure, including the Sentry Hall renovation and addition at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. This budget delivers a win for all Wisconsinites.”
