The income tax cut included in the 2 year budget that Governor Tony Evers signed will amount to about a 36 dollar annual savings. That's according to an analysis from the Legislative Fiscal Bureau. Under the GOP plan, it would have been a 573 dollar savings. Evers and Democrats claimed the GOP tax cut benefitted the wealthy at the expense of the middle class. The governor vetoed a reduction in rates for individuals earning more than 27-thousand-630 dollars and couples filing jointly who make more than 36-thousand -840 dollars. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos wants to override the veto, but it is highly unlikely to happen because Democrats in the Assembly would have to break ranks to vote with the GOP. Vos has also said Republicans may introduce another tax cut proposal later this year.
