There's a lot of noise being made about the Vos/LeMehieu/Evers tax-rebate+school aid bill.
It died. Democrats didn't like it because because. Pubbies didn't like it either.
But the Pubbies had coaching from their Gubernatorial candidate, Tom Tiffany.
Let's do the math. The State is projecting an $800+ million surplus for the end of the budget year (June, 2027.) The spending in this bill? $1.4 billion.
That means that the State would have a deficit of $600 million or so when Tiffany has to create his first budget.
You think Tiffany wanted to start from a $600 million-deep hole?
HELL, NO. And we don't blame him.
Notable, again: NONE of the three characters who cut this deal will EVER stand for election in Wisconsin again. We think that's all you really need to know.
