August: Evers' budget proposal leave Legislature 'no choice but to start from scratch'
MADISON — Assembly Republican Majority Leader Tyler August (R-Lake Geneva) released the following statement following the biennial budget address given by Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers:
“We were looking forward to working with the governor to move our state forward. However, it is clear he has no intention of working with the legislature given the massive over-spending on his liberal wish list, combined with the tone he has taken in his recent speeches.”
In a recent statement, August said Evers started “with a surplus of several billion” yet raised taxes over $1 billion while overspending “into an unsustainable position.”
“In fact, this makes three budgets in a row that Gov. Evers has proposed a billion dollar tax hike on Wisconsin families and small businesses,” August said. “Quite simply, the governor’s proposal would grow government beyond the taxpayers’ ability to pay.”
The proposal by Evers leaves the Legislature “no choice but to start from scratch,” said August.
“Thankfully, the state is in a good position financially due to the fiscally responsible budgets passed by the Republican Legislature in recent years,” he said. “We look forward to crafting our own budget that invests in programs we value, while protecting taxpayers and lowering the tax burden.”

Give blood to American Red Cross at these drives in Walworth County
One in seven patients entering a hospital will need a blood transfusion. At the same time, only about 3% of Americans give blood.
The American Red Cross needs more people to make and keep appointments to give blood or platelets in February and has three great reasons to do so.
Help prevent a blood shortage: Winter brings seasonal illness and dangerous weather, which can hurt the blood supply. When donors give now, they can help ensure blood is on hospital shelves when it’s needed.
It’s Heart Month: During a blood donation appointment, the Red Cross checks donors’ blood pressure and pulse, which are important indicators of heart health.
Treat yourself: All who come to give in February will get a $10 Amazon.com Gift Card by email, thanks to Amazon. Those who come to donate this month will also automatically be entered to win a trip for two to Clearwater Beach, Florida. Details are available at RedCrossBlood.org/heart.
Donors of all blood types – particularly type O blood donors, the most needed blood group by hospitals – and platelet donors are needed daily to meet demand.
Protect the blood supply from dropping – book a time to give blood or platelets by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, downloading the Red Cross Blood Donor App, or calling 1-800-RED CROSS.
The following blood drives are scheduled in Walworth County.
Thursday, Feb. 23, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. — Sugar Creek Lutheran Church, N5690 Cobblestone Road, Elkhorn.
Tuesday, March 7, 1 to 6 p.m. — Christ Lutheran Church, 228 Martin St., Sharon.
Monday, March 13, noon to 5 p.m. — East Troy Bible Church, 2660 North St./Highway 20, East Troy.
