What happened

Well supportedReported by 5 independent outlets

Voters in Wisconsin approved an amendment that bars the governor from using partial vetoes that raise taxes or fees, a measure introduced in response to Governor Tony Evers' veto of a school funding increase. Additionally, voters passed an amendment requiring that courts, the state Legislature, the University of Wisconsin System, and other government entities cannot give preferential treatment based on race, sex, national origin, or ethnicity.

The approved amendments alter the state's fiscal authority and regulatory framework. State Superintendent Dr. Jill Underly previously warned that public schools would face consequences due to years of underfunding and called for changes to the state funding formula.
