Wisconsin Reaches Bipartisan Budget Deal | JQJO

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers and Republican legislators reached a bipartisan budget deal, averting a government shutdown. The agreement includes $1.3 billion in income tax cuts, a significant funding increase for the University of Wisconsin system, and increased spending on transportation, child care, and special education. While Republicans pushed for tax cuts given the state's surplus, the deal also incorporates some of Evers' priorities. The budget's passage is expected this week, followed by potential adjustments from the governor using his partial veto power.
