Evers Issues First Veto

Frederica Freyberg:
Governor Evers this week took out his veto pen on the first piece of legislation sent to his desk by the Republican legislature. He rejected the majority’s tax cut bill, saying it didn’t have a funding source past the next two years. Evers plans to introduce his own tax cut proposal in his two-year state budget. His proposal would reduce tax credits on manufacturers to help pay for it. Governor Tony Evers will deliver his budget address next Thursday night. Wisconsin Public Television and Radio will bring you live coverage of the address starting at 7:00 p.m.
