The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), Wisconsin’s leading small business advocacy organization, released the following statement following Governor Tony Evers’ final State of the State address:

“It was disappointing that Governor Evers spent most of his effort criticizing the other side of the aisle,” said NFIB State Director Luke Bacher.  “This is not about political parties; this is about keeping Main Street’s ‘Open’ sign on. The governor must work with the legislature to address the very real issues facing families and small businesses across the state.  A great start would be accepting the deal offered by the legislature that returns the surplus through tax relief.”
