Evers announced Wisconsin will be among just nine states that will avoid having to pay exorbitant new penalty fees to the Trump Administration in 2027. Evers last summer about the impacts of Republicans’ ‘Big Beautiful Bill ,’ which the Evers Administration estimates will cost Wisconsinites over $284 million in future state budgets. Not only that, but with these Republican changes, states across the country are now facing potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in new penalty fees to be paid to the Trump Administration. Thanks to our work, Wisconsin is one of just nine states in the nation that won't have to pay penalty fees to the Trump Administration in 2027. All told, Wisconsin taxpayers will avoid paying $205 million in 2027.
