Tony Evers Boosts Funding for Public Schools for Centuries to Come<\/h2>\n<p>On July 5, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers made a historic move by partially vetoing the new state budget, ensuring increased funding for public schools for the next four centuries.<\/p>\n<p>Evers, a former state education secretary and teacher, who is known for his dedication to education, signed off on the $99 billion spending plan after making 51 amendments through partial vetoes. These amendments included reducing the Republican-led income tax cut from $3.5 billion to $175 million and eliminating lower rates for the highest earning brackets.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most significant changes made by Evers was to the funding increase for K\u201312 public schools. While the Republican-controlled state Legislature had proposed a $325 per student increase for the 2023\u20132024 and 2024\u20132025 school years, Evers modified it to ensure that Wisconsin schools receive this funding boost every year until 2425.<\/p>\n<p>This increase in school funding marks the largest ever in statewide revenue limit authority since the imposition of revenue limits on K\u201312 schools in 1993\u201394.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe have gotten to work these last four years making smart, strategic investments\u2014and our economy shows it,\u201d said Evers in a statement. \u201cSo, we began this biennial budget process with historic opportunity, and with it, historic responsibility\u2014not to be careless or reckless, but to save where we can and stay well within our means while still investing in needs that have long been neglected to protect the future we are working hard to build together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut even as I am glad the Legislature joined me in making critical investments in several key areas, the fact remains that this budget, while now improved through strategic vetoes, remains imperfect and incomplete,\u201d the governor added, before accusing GOP lawmakers in the state Legislature of having \u201cfailed to meet this historic moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2731803\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/05\/robin-vos-900x506.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Budgets Have \u2018Always Been About Pragmatism\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Evers emphasized that the budget needed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/state-department-announces-1-5-million-in-funding-to-empower-lgbtqi-movements\/\" title=\"State Department Announces .5  Million In Funding To \"Empower LGBTQI Movements\"\">address critical issues<\/a> such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">high-speed broadband<\/a>, increased aid for schools, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wisconsin-governor-partially-vetoes-state-budget-increases-school-funding-for-40-decades\/\" title=\"Wisconsin Governor partially vetoes budget, boosts school funding for 40 years.\">fully-funded universal school breakfasts<\/a> and lunches, and affordable and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fact-checking-trumps-claims-that-florida-is-badly-run-under-desantis\/\" title=\"Fact-checking Trump's claims that Florida is badly run under DeSantis\">accessible child care<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He stated, \u201cInvesting in our University of Wisconsin and Wisconsin Technical College Systems. Targeted tax relief for caregivers, parents, seniors, veterans, and their spouses. BadgerCare expansion. Expanded paid family leave. Legalizing and taxing marijuana much like alcohol. Investments in community-driven solutions to our workforce challenges. These aren\u2019t controversial concepts; my budgets have always been about pragmatism and solutions, not wish lists or politics, from the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>While some Republicans expressed disappointment with Evers&#8217; decision and labeled it as a &#8220;liberal&#8221; spending agenda, advocates like Dan Rossmiller from the Wisconsin Association of School Boards appreciated the partial vetoes, considering them a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the positive response, Rossmiller expressed concerns about whether the increased funding would keep up with soaring inflation for some districts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>total.
