6-30-21 wi legislature taking final votes on state budget

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin legislators are poised to take their final votes on the state’s next two-year budget this week and send it on to Gov. Tony Evers. The Assembly passed the budget Tuesday. The Senate is expected to follow suit on Wednesday. The centerpiece of the spending plan is a $3.3 billion income and property tax cut. Whether Evers goes along with the budget when it reaches his desk is another question. Republicans eliminated a host of the Democratic governor’s policy proposals from the document earlier this year and handed K-12 schools only $128 million in additional aid after Evers proposed giving them $1.6 billion. The governor could use his veto powers to drastically rewrite the budget or kill entire plan.
