Stafsholt votes to cut your taxes

Madison, WI – Rob Stafsholt (R – New Richmond) issued the following statement after voting for the 2023-25 state budget:

“I was happy to cast my vote for the 2023-25 Wisconsin state budget. The last few months have been a battle for me as I have been focused on increasing the percentage of the shared revenue dollars that are provided in this budget that go back to smaller and midsized municipalities so they can spend it on things like local roads and public safety. Though there has been improvement, I do not think it is enough and I will continue to work hard to get a bigger portion of the pot collected in Madison to come back to our rural areas.

 “In the end, this is truly a conservative budget that responsibly funds the state’s priorities, provides historic tax cuts, invests in K-12 education and healthcare, pays down debt to save millions on interest and leaves the state with a surplus balance to ensure Wisconsin is set up for the future.  I look forward to Governor Evers signing this budget into law. 

“While no budget will ever be perfect, I feel confident that my vote reflects the will and wishes of the 10th Senate District. It is an honor to represent you and I remain committed to being your voice in Madison.”
