Wisconsin Agencies Request More Spending

The long process of adopting a 2025-27 state budget is underway at the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison.

Although Governor Tony Evers told agencies to assume “zero-growth” in general purpose revenue, agencies have so far submitted requests that would increase spending by nearly $6 billion or 6.5 percent, according to an analysis by the Institute for Reforming Government.

One agency, the Department of Health Services, wants to increase spending by nearly 12 percent or $4 billion.

The Governor will review agency requests and make appropriate revisions before submitting his executive budget to the Legislature in early 2025.

Following review and revision by the Legislature, the budget legislation will be returned to the Governor for final approval and/or veto by June 30, 2025.
