Press Release: Statement Regarding Assembly Republicans’ Announcement

MADISON — Gov. Evers office today released a statement regarding Assembly Republicans’ announcement.

“The governor’s education plan provides an opportunity for Assembly Republicans to deliver on their promise to get to two-thirds funding for our schools before they take an eight-month vacation while still providing $130 million to help reduce property taxes across our state,” said Gov. Evers spokesperson Britt Cudaback.

“Unfortunately, Assembly Republicans made it clear today that they would rather break their promise to the people of our state than work together on funding our schools and reducing property taxes in Wisconsin.”
