Taxpayers Association Challenges Governor’s Abuse of Partial Veto Power
The Brown County Taxpayers Association (BCTA) filed an amicus brief in LeMieux v. Tony Evers, a case before the Wisconsin State Supreme Court which challenges the Governor’s creative, expansive and unprecedented use of line-item veto power. The amicus brief, filed on behalf of BCTA by the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, supports the plaintiff position that the Governor’s action is not legal.
SCOTUS DECIDES FEDERAL LAWSUIT ON ISSUES RAISED BY BCTA AND WILL
By a vote of 6-3, the US Supreme Court Justices issued a June 30, 2023 decision that the Biden administration overstepped its authority in 2021 when it announced that it would cancel up to $400 billion in student loans. The Court found that Biden’s plan implicated the “major questions doctrine,” which was the same argument raised by the Brown County Taxpayers Association in its case. BCTA filed the first lawsuit (BCTA v. Biden, 10/4/22) in the nation that made it all the way to the Supreme Court, but was unable to obtain an injunction.
