Wisconsin judge rules governor properly used partial veto powers on literacy bill
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers properly used his partial veto powers on a school literacy bill, a judge ruled Tuesday. Dane County Circuit Court Judge Stephen Ehlke’s decision marks a victory for the Democratic governor as he works to stave off Republican attempts to rein in his partial vetoes, one of the few ways he can block or soften GOP initiatives. The dispute centers around two bills designed to improve K-12 students’ reading performance. The governor signed the first measure in July 2023. That bill created an early literacy coaching program within the state Department of Public Instruction as well as grants for schools that adopt approved reading curricula. The 2023-2025 state budget that Evers signed weeks earlier set aside $50 million for the initiatives but didn’t actually distribute any of that money.
