Madison- Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu (R-Oostburg) issued the following statement to address Governor Evers’ irresponsible partial vetoes:
“The Governor had a chance to sign the largest tax cut in Wisconsin’s history and provide a tax cut for every taxpayer in the state. Instead, he chose to keep more than $2.7 billion in Madison rather than in the pockets of hardworking families,” LeMahieu said.
“The Governor’s action today will raise taxes on individual income tax filers making more than $25,520 compared to the plan the legislature approved last week.
“States around the nation are cutting taxes and benefitting from the economic opportunity a competitive tax structure provides. Governor Evers’ partial veto risks allowing Wisconsin to fall behind our competitor states in the Midwest and nationally.
“The State Senate is committed to providing substantial tax relief to all Wisconsin taxpayers and making our tax structure flatter and fairer,” LeMahieu concluded.
