Gov. Tony Evers recently rolled out his second budget proposal, a gigantic $91 billion spending plan that will, according to the Governor, help Wisconsin recover from the ill effects of COVID-19 and the government shutdown of the state’s economy. As with his first budget, the 2021-2023 version seeks to dramatically increase government spending in Wisconsin, raise taxes on the many to hand out aid to the select few, and create dozens of new initiatives to address social justice, equity, global warming and the public health crisis.
