Published | Video Starts at 05:41

So this morning I exercise my broad constitutional authority to improve the budget that was sent to me and I am signing Assembly Bill 68 making it Wisconsin Act 58. During the last biennium, I was proud to sign the last budget that together with 2019 Assembly Bill Act 10 provided an estimated $577 million in individual income tax relief through income tax reductions targeting lower and middle class earners. Then the first bill I signed in this biennium, 2021 Act Wisconsin Act 1, I provided another $480 million in tax relief for Wisconsin businesses and families affected by the COVID 19 pandemic.
