Wisconsin’s budget includes tax cuts, university funding boost and prison closure

WISCONSIN, JUL 01 – The bipartisan budget includes nearly $1.4 billion in tax cuts benefiting 1.6 million residents and historic funding increases for K-12 special education and the University of Wisconsin system.

  • On Tuesday, July 1, 2025, Wisconsin Democratic Governor Tony Evers and Republican leaders agreed to a bipartisan two-year state budget deal in Madison.
  • The deal emerged after missing the June 30 deadline and weeks of difficult negotiations marked by Senate Republican walkouts and disputes over funding allocations.
  • The budget plan allocates substantial tax relief affecting approximately 1.6 million Wisconsin residents, provides a $256 million boost to the University of Wisconsin system, and includes a $300 million commitment toward supporting child care programs.
  • Governor Evers pledged to sign the tax cut plan without partial vetoes and highlighted, "this is a pro-kid budget that’s a win for Wisconsin’s kids, families, and our future," while Assembly Speaker Robin Vos praised tax relief and government reforms.
  • The agreement aims to stabilize the child care industry without extending pandemic subsidies, increase special education funding, and order an audit of the UW system, indicating ongoing bipartisan compromise despite legislative challenges.
