In a decision that's dividing the state, the Wisconsin Supreme Court narrowly upheld Governor Tony Evers' controversial partial veto—extending a school funding program for a staggering 400 years. The 4-3 ruling has ignited fierce debates over executive power, fiscal responsibility, and the future of public education.
Evers used his veto authority to alter a two-year school funding increase passed by the Republican-led legislature, effectively locking in the hike until 2425. Critics argue this move bypasses legislative intent, while supporters claim it ensures long-term stability for struggling school districts.
The ruling sets a precedent for how far partial vetoes can stretch, raising concerns about unchecked executive authority. With Wisconsin’s education system already under scrutiny, this decision could fuel further legal and political battles.
