Statement on Governor Ever Vetoing Tax Cuts for the Middle Class, Retirees, and Married Couples

Madison…Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) released the following statement after Governor Evers vetoed another round of crucial tax relief for Wisconsin citizens by rejecting a middle-class tax cut, relief for retirees, and support for married couples.

“Despite repeated opportunities provided by Legislative Republicans, Governor Evers refuses to support tax cuts that directly benefit the middle class, even when using defined parameters on what he deems as middle class.

“Even more concerning is the Governor’s disregard for Wisconsin’s seniors, who stood to gain significant relief from the proposed tax cut. By ignoring their needs and prioritizing political posturing over practical solutions, Governor Evers is failing to fulfill his promise to return the surplus to Wisconsin’s families and seniors.”
