Massive spending increases, attacks on school choice, and paving the way for property tax hikes
Historic spending increase would be on top of large K-12 funding increase included in the last two budgets

Gov. Tony Evers’ second biennial budget is out, and it’s a doozy for taxpayers. We’ve already covered what you, the taxpayer, need to know about the budget as a whole, and now it’s time to examine the important issue of K-12 education.
Evers was the state superintendent for the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) before becoming governor, so it’s no surprise that he’s offering plenty of costly funding increases to public schools, despite plummeting public school enrollment and more than $220 million in CARES Act funding. The governor again takes the opportunity to attack the popular school choice programs in more ways than one.
