The final budget bill cut state K - 12 spending
by nearly $ 800 million, over7 percent — the
largest amount in Wisconsin's history — and limited local governments» abilities to make up for these cuts through property taxes.14 That same year, Gov. Walker passed major tax cuts primarily targeted toward
corporations and the wealthy that totaled $ 2.33 billion over 10 years.15 Gov. Walker and Act 10 proponents argued that the bill's reforms would allow schools to offset these cuts
by reducing teachers» benefits and
hiring lower - paid teachers, preventing budget cuts from affecting students.16 Gov. Walker also argued that eliminating requirements to bargain over salary structures,
hiring, and working conditions would give schools additional flexibility needed to attract and retain higher - quality teachers.17
