A Better Wisconsin Together Applauds Wisconsin Supreme Court Decision Upholding Public School Funding

MADISON, Wis. – Following this morning’s Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling upholding public school funding and the governor’s ability to use his constitutionally protected partial veto power, A Better Wisconsin Together Communications Director Lucy Ripp released the following statement: 

“Today, Republicans’ effort to starve Wisconsin schools of funding and take away Governor Evers’ constitutionally protected partial veto powers, while giving more power to themselves, has failed. 

“Thanks to the progressive majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, the law now says that, for generations to come, Wisconsin’s public schools will have a guaranteed stream of funding to support our kids and deal with rising costs.

“We applaud the majority justices for doing their job and upholding our state constitution in the face of yet another partisan power grab from Wisconsin Republicans.”
