Gov. Tony Evers has vetoed a nearly $800 million income tax cut passed by Republicans, along with bills that would have increased the income tax credit for married couples and raised the amount of retirees’ income exempt from the state income tax. Republicans who voted to pass the bills in February said they were designed to make Wisconsin more attractive for families, middle-income earners and retirees. But Democrats said there were better ways to do that. The veto of the income tax cut was expected as the Democrat Evers has twice rejected similar tax cuts.
