Important bit:
Evers took language that originally applied the $325 increase for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years and instead vetoed the “20” and the hyphen to make the end date 2425, more than four centuries from now.
Okay, hats off for the creative use of a veto, but that’s a fucking stupid power for a governor to have.
Okay, but that’s a power for a governor to have.
Agreed.
I think line item vetoes are a bit ridiculous to begin with, but no one should be able to change 2025 to 2425 with veto powers.
Then let this guy play the Satanic Temple strategy and get line item veto power restricted or removed because the other side screams “no, not like that!”
The GOP has shown open willingness to handicap Dem governors and then roll those handicaps back as soon as they get a GOP governor.
They wouldn’t be able to do that with a Supreme Court decision
