Speaker Vos Statement on Assembly Passage of 2017-2019 Budget
"The Assembly has concluded its work on the state budget, which delivers on our promise to Wisconsin taxpayers."
Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) released the following statement on the Assembly passage of the 2017-2019 state budget (Assembly Bill 64).
“The Assembly has concluded its work on the state budget, which delivers on our promise to Wisconsin taxpayers. We’re setting the right priorities and making government more accountable. The two-year spending plan includes a historic investment to K-12 schools, eliminates several taxes, and keeps property taxes below 2010, 2014 and today’s levels.
“Everyone in Wisconsin can find something to like in this budget from an increased investment in worker training to the extended tuition freeze for the UW System schools. It’s also a fiscally responsible budget that ends in a positive balance and maintains the largest rainy day fund in state history. Today we showed Wisconsin that we’re committed to moving our state forward.”
