Wisconsin's Long-Term School Funding Solution: 400 Years of Support
TL;DR Summary
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has creatively altered the state budget to secure increased funding for public schools until the year 2425. By striking words and digits from the proposed revenue hike, Evers has locked in the funds for the next 400 years. Republicans have criticized the move, calling it a way to burden taxpayers, and it may face legal challenges or be reversed by a future governor. This is the latest clash between Evers and the Republican-controlled state legislature, who have often opposed his agenda.
