After a tumultuous six months marked by intra-GOP conflicts and legislative disputes, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis now faces the task of deciding on vetoes from a nearly unanimously approved $115 billion budget, amid ongoing tensions with the state legislature and various policy battles.
Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos announced that Republicans are preparing to sue Governor Tony Evers over his budget veto, which increases public school funding for the next 400 years. Vos accused Evers of lying during budget negotiations and questioned his ability to find bipartisan compromises. Evers used his veto power to extend the limit on school district funding until 2425, a move that Vos claims is unprecedented. Republicans are also considering legislation to limit the power of future Wisconsin governors through a constitutional amendment.
