Vos: voters may have chance to roll back Evers partial veto (MADISON)
Wisconsin voters may have the opportunity next fall to roll back a partial veto by Governor Tony Evers. The Democratic Governor’s partial budget veto committed the state to spending more on K-12 education each year for the next 400 years. Assembly speaker Robin Voss telling the Wisconsin State Journal that Republican lawmakers plan to bring back for a second consideration a constitutional amendment to reverse Evers’ veto. which was upheld in April by the state Supreme Court. The proposed amendment would prohibit Wisconsin governors from using a partial veto to increase taxes or fees in appropriation bills such as state budgets. It passed the legislature for the first time in early 2024 and if it passes both chambers again this year could come before voters in the fall election.
