Wisconsin Governor's Controversial Veto Sparks Lawsuit Concerns and Surplus Debate

A nonprofit law firm is considering suing Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers for using a partial veto to increase funding for public schools for the next 400 years. The veto, which crossed out the "20" and the hyphen in the original bill, allows K-12 schools to raise their revenue per student by $325 a year until 2425. Critics argue that the veto is undemocratic and may burden taxpayers for centuries. Legal action is being considered, and there is uncertainty about whether the veto will stand in court. The Wisconsin line item veto has a history of controversy, and amending the Constitution may be a possible route to curbing the governor's power.
