BREAKING: Wisconsin's Democratic Gov. Tony Ever scores a jaw-dropping victory by increasing funding for public schools in the state every year for the next four hundred years.
Yes. You read that correctly. 400 years. And the way he did it is truly amazing...
Gov. Evers used his partial veto authority to mark up and edit a spending bill that was only supposed to last for two years. This line-item veto power allows the governor to cut out parts of a bill while signing the rest into law.
Brilliantly, he changed the part that applied a $325 funding increase per student for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 years. He focused on the "2024-25" section and deleted the "20" and hyphen so that the end date for the funding became 2425.
The $325 per student annual increase of $325 until 2425 is the highest single-year increase in revenue limits in Wisconsin's history.
All in all, he made 50 line-item vetoes to the budget and said that the version he had been originally handed was "imperfect and incomplete." He used his stunning victory as an opportunity to hit the GOP for not caring about their constituents or education.
"In many ways, Republicans in the Legislature have failed to meet this historic moment, sending my budget back to my desk absent critical investments in key areas that they know — and publicly acknowledge — are essential to the success of our state, all while providing no real justification, substantive debate, or any meaningful alternative," said Evers. "That decision is, to put it simply, an abdication of duty."
This hilariously effective move is one of the biggest Democratic victories on a state level in a very long time.
Republicans are absolutely furious and there is nothing they can do about it. To override it, they'd need 2/3 of the state legislators in both houses and they don't have a veto-proof supermajority. They would need three Democrats to cross the aisle.
The bill is now law.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Democrats need to get creative like this to push their agenda — and consider investing in Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is currently doing a round of equity crowdfunding and just blew past $2.4 million raised from 6,200 of its users. If you want to own a small piece of what is quickly becoming the “next big thing” in social media, here is the link to do so, https://t.co/7S6ULL2X5e. You can invest as little as $100 — or as much as you’d like. Here’s the link to download the new Tribel app that Elon Musk is so afraid of: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
“Nothing in nature lives for itself.
Rivers don't drink their own water.
Trees don't eat their own fruit.
Sun doesn't give heat for itself.
Flowers don't spread fragrance for themselves.
Living for others is the rule of nature. And therein lies the secret of living.”
In tragedies Mr. Rogers used to say “Look for the helpers.” I’m often looking for what can be learned. There were a lot of helpers with the #Titanic sub search, but I think there’s an important lesson here too…
