Wisconsin governor slashes tax cuts and boosts school funding – for centuries

Tony Evers reduced $3.5bn in Republican tax cuts to $175m and edited budget text to increase education funding until 2425

Wisconsin's governor, Tony Evers, signed off on a two-year spending plan on Wednesday after gutting a Republican tax cut and using his broad veto powers to increase school funding for centuries.

Evers angered Republicans with both moves, with some saying the Democratic governor was going back on deals he had made with them.
