Now that's what I'm talking about. I will gladly cheer on this kind of fuckery when it does good.
Love to see it, especially later in 2435.
Gooooood for them :D
I'm all for what he did, but with a power like this, he or any other future governor can veto "doesn't" to "do" and "can't" to "can". Probably baiting the WI SCOTUS to strike down the power before dems loose the office.
Anyone more familiar with how this works? Like, that wording is weird to me. How much revenue they can raise per student.
So is this like, local school taxes? Or like local fund raising? That wording doesn't sound like it's as big a win as the article title makes it sound like?
What are they supposed to do in the year 2425? Raise $140,000 per student?
Yeah, that's not going to survive a court challenge.
Wisconsin allows this kind of partial veto by their governor. Scott Walker did a similar thing when he was governor preventing schools from adopting energy efficiency for hundreds of years
TIL. I'm surprised that this is allowed. Usually vetos are at most line-item, not down to individual characters.
Honest question if you have inside knowledge - doesn't the Wis. Governors partial veto authority make this constitutional?
It almost certainly is. It comports with precedent and prior Wisconsin court cases have ruled in favor of this use of the veto.

Plus, unless he’s done something inconsistent with the state constitution, the state Supreme Court will have a liberal majority in August. I can’t imagine this could be challenged by a lower state court and make its way to the state Supreme Court before then.
How do you /r/ConfidentlyIncorrect someone here? 😂
