"Seems"?
Citation of proofs?
No, none.

So?
That's what it was sold to him as.

Guess what his replacement is up to:
https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2023/07/06/wisconsin-governor-uses-sneaky-editing-trick-fund-public-education-2425/8431688695709/
July 6 (UPI) -- Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, used a sneaky
editing trick allowed by state law to amend the state's biennial budget
to fund public education for the next 400 years.
State law allows the governor to strike out entire words and numbers
from a bill sent to his desk for his signature, amounting to a partial veto.
Evers, by striking out just seven words and two numerals from a single
sentence, was able to allow school districts to raise their total
revenue amount by $325 per student every year.
School districts will have the authority to raise property taxes to meet
revenue goals if the state's legislature does not increase state funding
in future years.
The law, which was passed by the Republican-led state Senate and state
Assembly, had intended for the $325 adjustment to apply for only the
2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years.
"In future biennia and effectively in perpetuity, school districts will
have continued, additive per pupil revenue adjustments of $325 every
year, sustaining school district spending for the foreseeable future,"
Evers' office said in a statement.
Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said in a statement that
Republicans have "worked tirelessly to block Gov. Evers' liberal agenda."
"Unfortunately, because of his powerful veto authority, he reinstated
some of it today," Vos said.
Vos claimed the law will cause "massive property tax increases" in
coming years.
Former Republican Gov. Scott Walker has become infamous for his use of
the powerful veto authority to extend one measure in the 2017-2019
budget to last until the year 3018.
|| Btw, Walker was another Romney grade RINO, so he wins no favor with
true conservatives||
