MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — Heading into the final budget session on Thursday, Republicans on the legislative joint finance committee say they’ve delivered over $4 billion in tax cuts.
Co-chair Republican Representative Mark Born says the cuts should come as no surprise.
“That’s some great news with the continued tax relief properly returning the money that we over-collected from the taxpayers of Wisconsin,” said Born.
But Democrats say that the budget does more harm than good.
Assemblyman Evan Goyke from Milwaukee says that the budget as it stands is a disservice to Wisconsin’s youth as the population continues to age.
“I don’t see in the budget any initiatives that will catch the attention of young people to either come here or to stay here,” said Goyke.
Once the Joint Finance Committee is done with the budget, it will head to the Legislature for approval, and then to Governor Tony Evers, who can sign it, veto it, or use the line-item veto to modify it.
