Governor Tony Evers proposed legalizing recreational marijuana in his 2021-2023 budget and plans to expand the legality of medical cannabis.
Evers proposed decriminalization of small amounts of marijuana back in 2018. But his idea was shut down by Republicans in the legislature.
According to Channel 3000 News, taxes on marijuana purchases would generate over $165 million dollars of government revenue. Gov. Evers plans to allocate about half of this revenue to a Community Reinvestment Fund.
Under Evers’ budget plan, $34 million dollars would be invested into rural school districts. State Senator Melissa Agard (D-Madison) said Wisconsin schools were especially stressed for the past 10 years and recently, rural schools have started to close.
