MADISON, Wis. Governor Tony Evers kicked off Wisconsin’s biennial budget planning Tuesday night with a $91 billion plan and a range of proposals prioritizing education, mental health, justice reform, reinstatement of collective bargaining rights for some public employees, and more.
“Change is possible,” Evers said in his budget address. “The future we want to build is possible, because I know you will hold us to account and demand it.”
The plan represents a $10 billion increase over Wisconsin’s last biennial budget approved in 2019. Many of the proposals released Tuesday aren’t new, and didn’t survive the Republican-led legislature rewrite during the 2019 biennium budget cycle. The Republican-led budget committee in the legislature will spend the coming months rewriting their own budget proposals, which will then return to the governor’s desk where he can exercise his line-item veto powers.
