Evers says state surplus could provide property tax relief

MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Governor Tony Evers says he’ll focus on using the state surplus to lower property taxes on before leaving office.

He says it needs to be done thoughtfully.

“We have anywhere between 4 and $6 billion. Not all of it is available because we have to kind of, but we do have some that is available and hopefully some of these ideas are, we can solve,” Evers said.

The legislative session is scheduled to end later this month but Evers has challenged lawmakers to stay in Madison until they can reach an agreement on tax relief.
