💨 Abstract

Wisconsin's Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and the Republican-controlled Legislature reached a two-year budget deal, cutting income taxes and increasing funding for education and transportation. The $1.3 billion tax cuts primarily benefit the middle class, and the budget includes a $256 million increase for the Universities of Wisconsin, despite earlier threats of cuts. Additional funding is allocated for child care and K-12 special education programs.
