MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — There’s been plenty of back and forth between Democrats and Republicans on the next two year state budget.
Governor Tony Evers says Republicans are refusing to agree to meaningful investments in education, childcare and the UW System. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says that’s a lie; Evers doesn’t agree.
“I try not to lie. Here’s the thing; we’re asking for $60 million in special education and they were at 30. Is 30 better than zero? Of course it is; but it’s not enough for school districts to avoid going to referendum every two years,” Evers said.
If lawmakers don’t pass a new budget by the end of June, current spending levels will continue.
