Madison, WI — Today, Representative David Steffen (R-Howard) provided the following statement regarding Governor Evers’ 2023-2025 budget proposal:
“Republicans have prioritized prudent financial planning over the past ten years, placing Wisconsin in a historically unprecedented position with a rainy day fund surpassing $1.7 billion. This, coupled with the fact that our tax cuts have saved Wisconsin taxpayers more than $22 billion since 2011, is a tremendous accomplishment.
“Unfortunately, in tonight’s address, Governor Evers delivered a plan that would seriously mismanage our state’s finances. His extreme spending and taxing measures would do nothing short of hurting Wisconsin taxpayers and steering our state in an unsustainable direction. I certainly can’t and won’t support a budget with such a clear disregard for the hardworking taxpayers of Wisconsin.
“Now that the Governor has released his budget, the real work begins to write a state budget that is responsible, sustainable and places the priorities of Wisconsin residents first. I look forward to being actively engaged and representing the needs of my constituents throughout this budget process.”
