evidence: MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers tonight, during his2023-25Biennial Budget Message, announced provisions included in hisbudget proposal that will deliver on the promisehe made last August to fight for a 10-percent middle-class tax cut. As previewed by the governor over the weekend, the plan aims to build upon income tax cuts he has signed since taking office that have returned $1.4 billion annually to taxpayers by delivering more than $1.2 billion in targeted tax relief to working families, parents, veterans, caregivers, seniors, and student loan borrowers, among others, while limiting tax giveaways to wealthy earners. [...] Over the course of his first term, Gov. Evers more than delivered on the promise he made before being elected governor in 2018 to provide a 10-percent, middle-class tax cut. In the 2021-23 biennial budget, the governor signed one of the largest tax cuts in Wisconsin state history, providing $2 billion in individual income tax relief over the biennium and approximately $1 billion annually going forward. When combined with the tax cuts Gov. Evers signed in the 2019-21 biennial budget, as well as 2019 Wisconsin Act 10, 86 percent of Wisconsin taxpayers have seen an income tax cut of 15 percent or more, with 2.4 million taxpayers getting relief.
