WAUSAU, Wis. (WRN) — Outgoing Democratic Governor Tony Evers isn’t holding out hope that a new deal to spend the more than $3 billion state surplus will get done before the end of the year.
Evers says many in Madison are focused on November.
“I think it’s probably everybody’s, every man and woman for themselves right now, and they want to get elected. So maybe early on in this session would be more likely,” Evers said.
The previous tax package failed to pass in the state senate despite bipartisan support from the legislature’s joint finance committee and Evers.
