Governor Tony Evers Official Portrait
Governor Evers is vetoing two bills that would eliminate state income taxes on tips and overtime pay.
Gov. Evers says the measures would create unequal treatment among workers and rely on temporary tax policy instead of long-term relief.
The proposals would have allowed deductions of up to $12,500 in overtime pay and $25,000 in tips.
Researchers say the changes could have helped hundreds of thousands of workers.
Similar legislation could be proposed as Gov. Evers’ term nears its end.
