MADISON, Wis. Republican leaders in the state legislature propose using some of the state’s projected $2.5 billion surplus for rebate checks and property tax relief.
WisPolitics reports that the proposal, sent to Democratic Governor Tony Evers Monday by Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu, includes $1,000 rebate checks for married joint filers and $500 checks for individuals, a half-billion dollars for the school levy tax credit, and $200 million for special education reimbursement.
The governor’s office said it still must review the proposal.
