Governor’s Veto Message
July 3, 2019
To the Honorable Members of the Assembly:
I have approved Assembly Bill 56 as 2019 Wisconsin Act 9 and deposited it in the Office of the Secretary of State.
This past January, I delivered my first State of the State address. I noted then—and have repeated many times since—a phrase that is inscribed on the ceiling in the Governor’s conference room: “The will of the people is the law of the land.”
It was in the spirit of these words that we crafted a budget—The People’s Budget—that represents the will of the people of Wisconsin. Our proposal, written by and with the people of our state, fully funded our schools and provided the largest-ever increase in funding for special education, expanded Medicaid and infused our healthcare system with millions of dollars to improve healthcare for all Wisconsinites by drawing down $1.6 billion in new federal funds, and offered a sustainable, long-term solution on transportation that ensured Wisconsinites would not have to foot the entire bill for fixing our roads.
Unfortunately, this budget that I have now signed is, in many ways, insufficient.
This is, in large part, due to the unfortunate lack of interest by some Republicans in the Legislature to work together and engage in constructive, bipartisan dialogue, and instead devoting far too much time to huffing and puffing. I met with 125 out of 132 legislators during the budget process, including 75 Republicans, and my administration has been ready, willing, and available to work together to find common ground, make changes, and work toward solutions. I believe the people of our state would have been better off in this budget if we could have found more common ground, even if it meant each of us not getting everything we wanted. But Republican leadership often chose political allegiance and scoring political points over the people of our state, and that is reflected in the budget that arrived on my desk.
Consequently, in recent weeks, I strongly considered vetoing the Legislature’s entire budget because it did not do enough to ensure that our kids and schools have the resources they need to be successful. I believe it falls short of the proposal we offered. I believe the people of Wisconsin deserve more. And I believe we could do better.
But when I ran for this office, I said it was time for a change, and I made promises to the people of Wisconsin. I promised I would put politics aside to get things done. I promised I would lead with kindness, compassion, civility, and respect. And I promised I would put people first.
