No action since term began, and the budget is complete

In his 2014 re-election campaign, Gov. Scott Walker pledged to commit to "growing those eligible for and benefitting from the tuition tax deduction so students who stay and work in Wisconsin gain assistance paying for college."

In January 2016, we rated the promise Stalled. At the time, the governor's office didn't cite any particular progress, but said Walker would be making proposals "to address student loan debt and other higher education initiatives."

The nonpartisan state Legislative Fiscal Bureau told us there have been no actions to make more people eligible for a tuition tax deduction since Walker started his second term in January 2015.

Since the 2017-19 budget is in place, we rate this pledge Promise Broken.
