MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — As expected, Governor Tony Evers has vetoed three Republican authored tax bills.
Evers has twice previously vetoed tax cuts from Republicans.
In a statement Friday, the Democratic governor said the three measures totaling $800 million would have driven the state into insolvency and threatened services.
The bills included expansion of the state’s second income tax bracket to cover higher earners, an increase in the income tax credit for married couples, and an increase in the amount of retirees’ income exempt from the state income tax.
Evers did not mention a fourth Republican bill, an expanded tax credit for couples with children.
