"Wisconsin Democratic Gov. Tony Evers on Tuesday decried what he called “irresponsible decisions in Washington” and “needless chaos,” saying his new two-year spending proposal was designed to prepare for drastic cuts from the federal government.

Evers released his budget as he considers seeking a third term in the battleground state that President Donald Trump narrowly won in November 2024.

Evers’ budget is more of a wish list than a roadmap of what will actually become law. Republicans who control the Legislature have promised to kill most of his proposals, as they have done on his three previous budgets, before passing it later in 2025."
