Have you heard?! There are 3 constitutional amendments on our ballot this November. We're voting NO on every one of these. - Prohibit Government Discrimination or Preferential Treatment Ballot language: Prohibits state government from discriminating against, or granting preferential treatment to, any person based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in public employment, education, contracting, or administration. Context: Wisconsin already prohibits discrimination under state and federal law; the amendment also bars “preferential treatment” programs aimed at equity. - Prohibit Partial Veto to Increase Tax or Fee Ballot language: Bars the governor from using the partial veto power to create or increase any tax or fee.
