The Republicans who will write the next state budget say Wisconsin is in great fiscal shape.
Senator Howard Marklein last week said the Republican decision not to raise taxes or spending, as Governor Evers requested, has set the state up for a two-point-five-billion-dollar budget surplus in two years. Currently, Wisconsin’s surplus is sitting at one-point-eight-billion-dollars, and there’s another nearly one-billion-dollars in Wisconsin’s rainy day fund. Marklein says Wisconsin is in such good financial shape because of Republican spending decisions over the past decade.
