Speaker Vos Statement on the Supreme Court’s Rubber Stamp of Governor Evers’ 402 Year Property Tax Increase

Madison… Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) released the following statement after the Supreme Court’s opinion upholding Governor Evers’ 402 year property tax increase:

“Is any Wisconsin citizen surprised that the liberals on the Wisconsin Supreme Court are now a rubber stamp for liberal ally Tony Evers?

The Supreme Court’s partisan decision today should worry every Wisconsinite. The Governor can now raise property taxes – unchecked by any other branch of government – for hundreds of years.

The liberal Justices’ decision itself describes the effects of this decision as ‘significant and attention-grabbing.’ Modest words for a tortured reading of our Constitution that will hurt Wisconsin taxpayers for hundreds of years to come, all in the name of supporting their ally in the Governor’s office.

Justice Hagedorn, joined by the Court’s other conservatives, had a more accurate reaction, calling it ‘a mockery of our constitutional order. This is a mess of the court’s making.’”
