MADISON – Tuesday, Governor Evers announced major investments and initiatives from his 2023-25 biennial budget to support Wisconsin kids and K-12 schools throughout the state. The Governor’s proposal would provide an increase of more than $2.6 billion for public schools - the second largest proposed direct investment in state general aids since the 1995-97 biennium, the largest per pupil adjustments since revenue limits were imposed, and a historic investment in special education.

MADISON – Today, Governor Evers announced a new deal with the Milwaukee Brewers that would spend $290 million from our state’s $7 billion surplus to ensure the team stays in Milwaukee through 2043 at a minimum. The proposed one time investment is estimated to save taxpayers more than $200 million over the Brewers’ lease term, while generating more than $400 million in revenue over the next twenty years.
