The Wisconsin Supreme Court this week will hear arguments for just how far a governor can go with his veto powers.
The liberal majority court is set to hear the challenge to Governor Tony Evers’ 400 year school funding veto. The governor used his veto powers to erase some numbers in the current budget, and turn a two-year school funding increase into a 400-year school funding increase. The Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce legal fund is arguing that Evers went way beyond what the law allows. The governor’s office has defended the move as just part of Wisconsin’s board amendatory veto powers.
