TL;DR Summary

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers used the state's expansive "partial veto" power to make changes to the biennial budget, including removing a provision benefiting the wealthy and slashing funding for the Republican National Convention. Evers also used the veto to secure funding for Wisconsin's public school system for the next four centuries. The move has sparked controversy and legal challenges from Republicans, who argue that it may be unconstitutional. The fate of the veto is uncertain, as the state Supreme Court has previously struck down some of Evers' partial vetoes.
