Gov. Tony Evers signs the GOP-authored 2021-23 budget Thursday, while also issuing 50 partial vetoes, at Cumberland Elementary School in Whitefish Bay. MITCHELL SCHMIDT, STATE JOURNAL The Republican-authored budget that Gov. Tony Evers signed this past week spends a fraction of what the Democrat wanted for schools and jettisoned nearly all of his major policy priorities, yet as his 2022 re-election bid gets underway, he’s calling it a win. While he acknowledged the budget doesn’t go far enough in many key areas, he also has adopted Republican talking points in promoting a more than $2 billion income tax cut and saying it funds two-thirds the cost of public schools, even though it achieves that by cutting property taxes in what many Democrats have called a “shell game.” As recently as June, Evers openly weighed vetoing the document for failing to spend enough on K-12 education.
