Wisconsin Legislators Fail to Meet June 30 Deadline for New State Budget
- Wisconsin lawmakers failed to pass the 2025-27 state budget by the June 30, 2025 deadline, delaying implementation on July 1.
- The deadlock emerged after lengthy talks were hindered by conflicts over childcare, funding for public education and state universities, as well as proposed tax reductions.
- Republicans hold an 18-15 Senate majority but face internal divisions on budget cuts, while Democrats demand no cuts to universities and support for childcare using part of a $4 billion surplus.
- A recent poll shows 67% support marijuana legalization, but Republicans removed this from the budget, and mental health funding saw a JFC increase of $20 million over two years versus Evers’ proposed $170 million.
- With no new budget passed, the previous plan continues funding existing services without enhancements, creating uncertainty for local governments and delaying improvements in education and health care.
