Governor Tony Evers tells Wisconsin lawmakers the state budget is about “putting people first.” The Democrat revealed his spending plan to a joint session of the Legislature Thursday night.
Governor Evers:
Evers is calling for an eight-cent increase in the fuel tax, with higher vehicle title fees and heavy truck registration fees needed to pay for the state’s transportation needs.
Governor Evers:
Many of the Democratic governor’s proposals will be dead-on-arrival at the Republican-controlled Legislature. The biggest questions are how much money is devoted to education, prisons, public assistance programs and corporate tax breaks.
