WisEye Morning Minute: $3.8 Billion Surplus for Wisconsin
As reported by WisPolitics.com, Gov. Tony Evers called for using $1.7 billion of the state's projected surplus to provide a tax rebate of $150 for each Wisconsin resident and pump millions more into education. The announcement follows Legislative Fiscal Bureau projecting the state will finish the 2021-23 biennium with a $3.8 billion surplus. That's $2.8 billion more than expected just a few months ago. GOP legislative leaders indicated earlier this week they wanted to wait until next session to decide how to use the surplus.
