"Governor Evers' Historic Move: Boosting School Funding for 400 Years in Wisconsin"
TL;DR
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers used his unique partial veto power to increase school funding for the next 400 years in the state's budget bill. By changing the end date from 2024-25 to 2425, Evers ensured that schools would receive consistent funding beyond years of surplus. However, there is skepticism about the longevity of this provision, as Republicans may challenge it through a lawsuit or legislative action.
