“Would the governor, who is up for re-election next year, actually sign such a massive tax cut?” Brett Healy of the MacIver Institute said on WTAQ’s ‘The Regular Joe Show.’
While there were a number of line-item vetoes, most of what the Republican-led legislature put into the budget made it past Evers’ desk. Healy couldn’t believe it.
“He said that he made a promise that he would provide middle class tax relief when he first ran for office, which was surprising to hear him bring that up, because his own budget did no such thing,” Healy said. “He is not a tax cutter! I can’t believe that we’re sitting here today, talking about the largest tax cut in state history. One that’s going to impact the vast majority of Wisconsinites all across the state…The only reason the governor is signing this tax cut, the only reason why he is not vetoing the entire budget as he threatened, is because of the political pressure.”
