2021-23 State Budget Signed into Law; What the Governor Removed;
Instead of the liberal wish list that Governor Evers proposed, which raised taxes by over $1 billion and increased overall spending by nearly 10%, Republicans sent him a budget that responsibly invests in Wisconsinites' priorities
7/1/2021
Passing the Wisconsin State Budget
The 2021-23 budget, which passed the Assembly with bipartisan support, provides historic increases for in-person schools, invests in long-term care facilities and their workforce, and puts more money back into the pockets of our state's hardworking families.
6/25/2021

6/9/2020
Final E-Update
