Expect More Massive Spending in Evers' Budget Proposal

LISTEN - Governor Tony Evers is set to introduce his 2023 2025 state budget this week and early indications suggest that it will be a spending tsunami.

Governor Tony Evers is set to introduce his 2023 2025 state budget this week and early indications suggest that it will be a spending tsunami.

Despite having a $7 billion dollar surplus – it is not accurate to call it a surplus, it really means you the taxpayer have been overtaxed by $7 billion dollars – despite state government bursting at the seams with an extra $7 billion of your tax dollars, the Governor still wants to increase taxes by hundreds of millions on hard-working Wisconsinites.

The Gov’s perpetual attempts to dramatically increase taxes and punish those of us who actually pay taxes, even when he is sitting on a mountain of cash, tells you how unserious he is when he claims to be a champion of working families and what an absolute joke his budget proposal will be.

Let’s hope the Legislature throws out the Evers budget and builds a budget that puts you the taxpayer first.
