Capitol Notes: Wisconsin Lawmakers Have Many Ideas On How To Spend A Projected $450 Million Surplus
Published 6 years, 6 months ago
Description
Gov. Tony Evers wants the Republican-controlled Legislature to spend a chunk of a state budget surplus on the public schools. He's calling for a special session on the topic to begin this week. Republican leaders immediately dismissed the idea, saying they want to put surplus money toward a tax cut instead. Evers says the GOP could do both — cut taxes and spend more on schools.
