Why Wisconsin State Government Does Not Need or Deserve Another Massive Spending Increase
And guess what? Neither does local government!
Governor Evers is asking for another reckless and unsustainable increase in state spending.
Here is why is request is unnecessary and unwise:
- It adds huge amounts of unsustainable and unneeded new spending on top of recent massive spending increases
- The “surplus” of $7 billion ignores the $58 billion in covid aid that flowed into Wisconsin
- Local governments in Wisconsin are spending more money, and taking in more money, far above the rate of inflation and above household income increases…even though shared revenue has been frozen
- Act 10 is still saving local governments money
- Property tax limits are working as intended – they were put into place to restrain out-of-control local taxing and spending.
