Capitol Update October 9, 2024
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | October 9, 2024
The state Supreme Court heard a challenge to Governor Evers’ veto in the 2023-25 state budget that pushed out by 400 years the end date for annual increases in per-pupil spending limits.
From WisPolitics …
The language lawmakers sent to Evers included a $325 per pupil increase for the 2023-24 school year with another $325 increase in the 2024-25. Evers used his partial veto authority to strike out a hyphen and “20” to change the end date to 2425 rather than 2025.
Two taxpayers filed the suit. The court will weigh whether the state Constitution bars Governors from deleting digits in a spending bill to create a new year and whether Evers exceeded his authority by deleting language to create a longer duration than the one the Legislature approved.
Former GOP Gov. Scott Walker used his veto power to create a 1,000-year veto in the 2017-19 budget to extend a deadline to 3018 rather than 2018 as lawmakers wrote in the budget. A challenge was filed to that veto, but the court declined to rule on the merits, deciding it had been filed too late.
