The state Legislature next week will vote on the $87.5 billion GOP-authored biennial budget, which falls almost $3.7 billion short of Gov. Tony Eversâ original proposal.
Republicans on the budget committee made use of an estimated $4.4 billion surplus to work more than $3 billion in tax cuts into the proposed 2021-23 biennial budget, but also stripped away several of Eversâ high-profile measures like Medicaid expansion and drastically reduced other proposals like the governorâs call for $1.6 billion in K-12 spending.
Republicans, who plan to take up the GOP-authored budget in the Assembly on Tuesday and the Senate on Wednesday, have said they donât anticipate any major changes to the document before the budget is sent to Evers.
