We hope you had a wonderful Fourth of July! Republicans statewide were busy celebrating and showing off their love for America.

In case you missed it, this week Governor Tony Evers used his veto powers in an ill-willed and “irresponsible” manner. After Wisconsin legislative Republicans reached across the aisle to negotiate with the Governor and Democratic leaders, Evers bucked the meaningful compromises with his veto power.

Evers has now made clear that future negotiations with him are futile and nothing more than lies, since he refused to keep his word on shared revenue and K-12 education funding compromises. 

Evers went out of his way to slap taxpayers in the face by increasing school funding for over 400 YEARS — a move even the liberal media is calling irresponsible. The veto will likely lead to property tax increases for Wisconsin homeowners, at least until future leaders discard his ridiculous actions and change the law.

Evers also ignored the reality of rising prices and took an ax to the Republican-crafted tax cuts. Evers reduced the GOP tax cut from $3.5 billion to $175 million, dropping the average tax cut per taxpayer from $573 down to a measly $36.

Another clear political move from Evers was chopping the 2024 Republican National Convention funding by 90%. Visit Milwaukee expected $10 million to “promote Milwaukee as a tourism destination during the convention.” Evers again took his veto pen and cut the grant to assist Visit Milwaukee to $1 million.

The latest jobs report showed the economy slowing after years of Bidenflation, lowering real wages, savings, and incomes for working Wisconsinites. Despite what Biden and Tammy Baldwin claim, Americans are poorer under the Biden-Baldwin agenda. According to the U.S. Federal Reserve Board, during the first quarter of 2023, U.S. households’ savings from the Covid-19 pandemic were depleted.

Biden and Wisconsin Democrats will also fail to mention the cumulative real wealth of the middle class has fallen by over $2 TRILLION in the last year. This equals an average loss of $33,000 in real wealth per middle-class household.

In Case You Missed It

WisGOP Statement on Tony Evers Signing GOP Authored Budget

Yet, despite 26 months of real wages and savings declining for Wisconsin workers, Tony Evers took an ax to the GOP-authored tax cuts — cutting the historic $3.5 billion tax cuts by 95% — which would offer workers, farmers, families, and small businesses relief after months of rampant inflation and economic uncertainty.”

WisGOP Announces 2024 Republican National Convention Appointments

Today, the Republican Party of Wisconsin announced the appointment of all three Republican National Committee (RNC) Members from Wisconsin to serve on the Committee on Arrangements (COA) for the 2024 Republican National Convention. Chairman Brian Schimming, National Committeeman Tom Schreibel, and National Committeewoman Maripat Krueger are looking forward to working alongside appointees from across the nation as Wisconsin prepares to nominate the 2024 Republican Presidential nominee.

Bidenomics Overshadows Fourth of July Fireworks

This Fourth of July, Wisconsinites know their savings are down, real wages are down, and they have little to no confidence in the economy. Unlike Joe Biden, the numbers don’t lie — “Bidenomics” are not working for Wisconsin. As Wisconsinites prepare to celebrate America’s birthday, they are bracing for the price tags attached to 4th of July cookouts — nearly 14% higher than the cost of 2021. This Independence Day, the fireworks will be overshadowed by skyrocketing bills.

Wisconsin Democrats Sweep Declining Math and Reading Scores Under the Rug; Wisconsin Republicans Take Action

Wisconsin students’ declining standardized test scores have been a major focus for Wisconsin Republicans who are prioritizing improving Wisconsin schools — data last fall revealed that fewer than half of Wisconsin students are proficient in English language and mathematics —  after Wisconsin Democrats’ kowtowed to Teachers Unions’, allowing school closures and excessive remote learning.  

ICYMI: Tammy Baldwin lives in glass houses, throws stones

Tammy Baldwin is seemingly unfamiliar with the saying, “those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. In case you missed it, career politician Baldwin’s  hypocritical rhetoric was on display again recently.  The politician who has spent her career living off taxpayers’ wallets recently took shots at a Wisconsin Republican businessman.
