Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos is still thinking tax cuts while the state has $550 million in the bank.
Vos and his Republican colleagues just pushed through one of the biggest tax reductions in state history.
They wanted to put the rest of the money in the so-called Rainy Day Fund – something like a savings account.
Instead, Democratic Governor Tony Evers used his partial veto to put the money into the general fund – more like a checking account.
Evers wants to use it for education and “other issues.”
Vos says Wisconsin schools are already getting enough funding through the just-completed budget and billions in federal COVID-19 relief from Washington.
