evidence: Evers, who is in a tight race for governor with Republican candidate Tim Michels, announced his proposal against the backdrop of rising public concern over inflation and on the same day Michels and other Republicans were in Kenosha highlighting the scenes of rioting two years ago following the police shooting of Jacob Blake. [...] After hearing of Evers' proposed tax cuts, Michels said, "Tony Evers knows that today is the two-year anniversary of perhaps his largest failure, and he's trying to cloak it over." [...] "It's been fascinating to watch Tony Evers' election-year conversion on taxes. He wanted to raise taxes by $1 billion in his budget. Now, he wants to cut taxes as the political winds change," LeMahieu said in a statement. "If the governor is serious about providing financial relief to Wisconsinites, he could fund it immediately using federal ARPA dollars. Instead, he’s using a state taxpayer surplus to create political division."
