(The Center Square) – Wisconsin’s Democratic leaders have vowed to reverse Act 10 and other policies if elected. Now that the party will have power of both branches of the legislature and governor’s office, the question is how they intend to pay for the estimated $2 billion in added costs if they remove the measure, which prevents some public employee unions from collectively negotiating non-wage items, caps wage increases at inflation and allows public employees to opt out of union affiliation. While the state is currently sitting on a $3 billion surplus, those are one-time funds that would mean additional taxpayer funding would be needed in future budgets. If the projected cost increases were passed on to taxpayers, it would cost them an estimated $624 per year if they owned a $300,000 home, according to research from the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty. The group created a calculator in 2025 for taxpayers to estimate what an Act 10 reversal would cost. “I think it will lead to some dramatic negative consequences for Wisconsin education and for taxpayers,” WILL Research Director Will Flanders told The Center Square.
