Wisconsin Legislature Adjourns

The second regular session of the Wisconsin State Assembly concluded on May 14 without taking action on public school funding. Wisconsin’s K–12 public schools have gone without cost-of-living adjustments for the last 17 years. In response to Gov. Evers’ 400-year veto passed in the last budget permitting school districts to increase their per-pupil spending limit by $325 each year for the next 400 years, lawmakers passed Joint Resolution 116 to amend the constitution to prohibit the governor from using the partial veto to create or increase any tax or fee. The veto-tax issue will be on the ballot in November.
