Evers Budget Surplus Plan Includes $150 Checks for All Wisconsin Residents

Governor Tony Evers wants to use some of the state’s three-point-eight-billion-dollar budget surplus on 150-dollar refund checks for every Wisconsin resident. Evers says his one-point-seven-billion-dollar plan also includes more than 131-milion dollars in targeted tax relief to caregivers and families and would invest almost 750 million in education. The Democratic governor said in a statement, “Wisconsinites can’t wait for relief from rising prices. So, I hope the Legislature joins me in returning the projected revenue surplus to the taxpayers while supporting our workforce and providing additional relief to folks who need it most.”
