9-15-23 wisconsin senate votes to override evers’ 400 year veto and gutting of tax increase

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Republicans who control the Wisconsin Senate have voted to override three of Gov. Tony Evers’ vetoes, including one that attempted to enshrine school funding increases for 400 years. Republicans had the necessary two-thirds majority to override the vetoes in the Senate on Thursday, but they don’t have enough votes in the Assembly. Vetoes must be overridden in both chambers in order to undo them. Two of the votes attempted to undo partial vetoes Evers made in July to the state budget passed by the GOP-controlled Legislature. One of Evers’ vetoes undid nearly all of a $3.5 billion income tax cut.
