Gov. Scott Walker will sign the biennial budget today at Tullar Elementary School in Neenah.
He announced 99 vetoes ahead of today’s signing, including wiping out an Assembly GOP plan to boost low-spending school districts.
The provision for low-spending districts, now capped at $9,100 per student, would have boosted their revenue limit to $9,300 in 2017-18 and $9,400 in 2018-19. The limit on what they spend would then increase $100 per year through 2022-23, when it would be $9,800 per student.
Other items that Walker plans to use his veto pen on include a provision giving lawmakers more input on the board that makes decisions on state employee’s health care and the creation of a state prosecutor board.
