Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers is under fire for using a partial veto on a spending plan to increase public school funding for the next 400 years by strategically striking out text.
Vebber said it's not clear that Evers' veto will stand in court.
If Evers’ partial veto remains in effect, in 400 years, spending will equate to more than $130,000 more per student than Wisconsin currently spends, according to Vebber. "Here in Wisconsin, our governors have very broad line item veto powers," Vebber said."It's the most powerful veto pen in the country."have long used the partial veto tactic, leading to Constitutional amendments that limited what a governor was permitted to veto.
"The two notorious vetoes in Wisconsin were called the Frankenstein veto, which is when a governor strikes words in multiple sentences and then sort of stitches them back together," Vebber told Fox News. Those, he said, were eliminated in 2008.
