Evers took language that originally applied the $325 increase for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years and instead vetoed the “20” and the hyphen to make the end date 2425

Now that's what I'm talking about. I will gladly cheer on this kind of fuckery when it does good.

Love to see it, especially later in 2435.

I'm all for what he did, but with a power like this, he or any other future governor can veto "doesn't" to "do" and "can't" to "can". Probably baiting the WI SCOTUS to strike down the power before dems loose the office.

Yeah, that's not going to survive a court challenge.

Wisconsin allows this kind of partial veto by their governor. Scott Walker did a similar thing when he was governor preventing schools from adopting energy efficiency for hundreds of years

Honest question if you have inside knowledge - doesn't the Wis. Governors partial veto authority make this constitutional?

Anyone more familiar with how this works? Like, that wording is weird to me. How much revenue they can raise per student.

So is this like, local school taxes? Or like local fund raising? That wording doesn't sound like it's as big a win as the article title makes it sound like?

What are they supposed to do in the year 2425? Raise $140,000 per student?
