Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers says his new two-year spending proposal is designed to prepare for drastic cuts from the federal government.

The state would be short about $1.6 billion by the end of the 2028 fiscal year and nearly $4 billion by the end of the 2029 fiscal year.

Evers' budget will focus on tax cuts for residents, holding property taxes at current levels and focus on kids, according to budget address excerpts
