"Evers rejects $2B tax cut and child care credit expansion as 'unserious' proposal"

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has vetoed a Republican proposal to cut income taxes by $2 billion and expand a tax credit for child care costs, calling it "completely unserious." Evers criticized the bill for failing to address the state's workforce issues and accused Republicans of not taking the issue seriously. The GOP proposal would have lowered taxes for certain income brackets, increased the state credit for dependents, and allowed for increased deductions for private school expenses. Evers had previously proposed his own plan to invest in child care services and workforce programs, but it was rejected by Republicans.
