Gov. Evers signs biennial budget: “A win for Wisconsin’s kids, families and communities”

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - Governor Tony Evers signed Wisconsin’s biennial budget.

In a statement, Evers said in part, “We’ve worked hard to be prudent with taxpayer dollars and save where we can, while still investing in the needs that had long been neglected, cutting taxes for working families, and staying within our state’s means."

The Wisconsin Senate passed a compromise state budget on a bipartisan vote Wednesday in a race to approve a deal reached between Gov. Tony Evers and majority Republicans.

In a release, Evers said he partially vetoed parts of the budget that were outside of the bipartisan budget negotiations.
