The Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled recently that Governor Evers' partial veto in the last budget, which extended school funding for 400 years, that that was within his constitutional bounds. How does that change how you all write your side of the budget this year?

State Rep. Jessie Rodriguez:
I think it is going to be challenging. Because it's going to be challenging not just these next two years, it's gonna be challenging for the next 400 years for any legislature. In the past, whenever the Legislature had more funding revenue, they've been able to buy down property taxes to help provide relief to homeowners. And we've been doing it for years now, being able to do that in order to provide relief. You know, having a 400-year commitment $325, it's going to be very expensive to be able to pay for that at the state level. So, it'll end up being a huge commitment by the locals to be able to fund public education. Obviously, every session is different, every two years there are new revenue numbers, and obviously, there's going to be a possibility to look to see if there are ways to be able to pay that commitment down through state aid and be able to pay homeowners on their property taxes. But we don't know what two years down the road is going to look like. So, I think that's going to be a huge hit for property owners. I think people are realizing that and they're not very happy about that.
