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.”

  3. 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…

    1. 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.

  4. 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.
