My door is open! Proposals must be fiscally sound, sustainable, effective and transparent; explored with collaborative and transparent consultation; and based on solid financial information and realistic fiscal projections. If they are, let's talk! bit.ly/4eKaTmG

Tony Evers fought so hard for so long for fairer maps that would give Democrats in the legislature an opportunity to have a seat at the table, but at a moment where it really mattered, he just never invited them to dinner.

@BrittCudaback @GovEvers From the Legislative Fiscal Bureau just yesterday: "Payments from the general aid appropriation are under revenue limits, so the additional aid would provide property tax relief but not additional resources for school districts." Here's the memo.

When the state pays its fair share, property taxes stay down. It's that simple. I’m joining my colleagues in introducing a proposal to provide property tax relief while funding our public schools.
