Episode Details

Part of Wisconsin’s projected surplus would be spent on additional school funding and income tax rebates, in a bipartisan deal Governor Evers announced Monday after months of negotiations with GOP legislative leaders. But their proposal still has to clear a vote in both chambers of the state Legislature and not everyone is on board, with Democrats like state Senator Kelda Roys emerging as early critics. Also a candidate running for governor, Senator Roys told our News Producer Faye Parks yesterday that the deal is an election year gimmick that would put the state’s finances at risk.
