State Representative Amanda Nedweski (R-Pleasant Prairie) issued the following response to Governor Evers’s annual State of the State Address:
“What we heard from Governor Evers tonight was more of the same. The Governor spent the majority of his address taking credit for the work of the Republican legislature and encouraging bipartisanship, despite coming off of a legislative session where he set the record for bills vetoed,” Nedweski stated. “Evers’s vision for Wisconsin is one of significant government expansion and reckless spending.”
Governor Evers repeatedly took credit for Wisconsin’s financial stability, pointing to the state’s record low tax burden, Republican-authored tax cuts, and consistent budget surpluses. In response, Nedweski said, “The Governor wants you to believe that he is solely responsible for Wisconsin’s financial security. The reality is that Wisconsin is in this position thanks to the work of Republican lawmakers to right-size government and curb the wasteful spending coming out of the Evers administration.”
Nedweski also criticized the Governor’s hypocrisy for declaring Wisconsin ‘The Year of the Kid’ despite previously vetoing legislation that would release funding for literacy instruction, opposing efforts to protect minors from life-altering gender transition surgeries, and vetoing countless pro-life bills, including legislation to ban race and sex-selective abortions. “We cannot legitimately say that this is the ‘Year of the Kid’ when the State Superintendent is committed to lowering standards and when the Governor continues to kowtow to the far-left when it comes to harmful and irreversible gender transition procedures,” Nedweski said.
Governor Evers also mentioned his efforts to make government more efficient, citing measures taken to improve the inefficiencies of his own administration dating back to COVID. Nedweski, who chairs the Committee on Government Oversight, Accountability and Transparency said, “The Governor claims he wants to make state government ‘work smarter and faster’ yet his policy proposals would expand its scope and inflate an already bloated bureaucracy. We need to focus on rooting out inefficiencies in state government, cutting wasteful spending, improving public safety, raising academic standards, and saving taxpayer dollars so that Wisconsin families can keep more of their hard-earned money.”

Amen to her!!! We need a Republican Governor!
As long as Evers The Evil is governor …… I will be making enough 501c3 donations to be paying ZERO state income taxes.
It’s not hard to do.
No news here. Amanda is a Republican. Evers is a Democrat. Maybe every February 29th they will have nice words for each other.
She’s sort of a Republican. She wants solar panels and weed. More like a RINO
Oh, Amanda. You are way too impressed with yourself for no reason.
Amanda is just another loud mouth republican who spews lies just like her daddy, donny(orange boy) Trump.
(Your president) 😘
Wow…”Frank Rizzo” – a new synonym for “idiot”!
She’s a damn joke…..bye Felicia😘
I don’t care about any of this. I just care about sending the surplus back to the taxpayers that paid it. Or use it for a roads or public safety or the schools to educate.
Amanda send the money back…
Robin Vos will train Nedweski in the art of saying and promising fiscal responsibility but taxpayers will almost never see a lower prop tax bill. So far Ms. Nedweski appears to be learning to play the game quite well.
My property taxes went up $1400 for 2024. I’m not getting any more for this huge uptick.
Yeah…but what kind of house do you live in and where is it ? It matters.
I would request the state quit taxing pensions. That would really help the seniors!
So you want all the money stowed away pre-tax to not be taxed. Hell, just stop taxes all together
Shhhh, the general population isn’t supposed to be bright enough to figure that out.
I’m so sick of these politicians. Especially the republicans. If both sides could just work together this country, Wisconsin, and its people would be so much better off. The state has a $4B surplus and KUSD is asking for more money. What a joke.
