MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Republicans have voted to kill proposals to legalize marijuana, pay for renovations at the Milwaukee Brewers’ stadium and create a paid family leave program. Those were among the more than 500 items proposed by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers that the Legislature’s GOP-controlled budget committee killed with a single vote Tuesday. Evers derided the vote as “foolish.” Democrats say Republicans are ignoring the will of voters, while Republicans say they are creating a fiscally responsible budget. The vote kicks off the committee’s work reshaping the nearly $104 billion two-year budget that Evers submitted in February.
