Evers has previously vetoed a similar income tax cut passed by the Legislature. Republicans gutted a $1 billion Evers proposal to invest in child care he called on the Legislature to pass in a special session in September. Instead, the Legislature passed a measure that would have cut income taxes, created a child care tax credit, and increased income tax deductions for private school tuition. Republicans who control the Legislature remain in talks with university leaders about funding the engineering building. The Wisconsin Alumni Association is also funding an advertising campaign about the need for more engineers in the state.
