Gov. Evers Proposes $104 Billion State Budget, Republicans Declare It DOA

Join The Center Square’s Regional Editor Bruce Walker and Wisconsin Reporter Ben Yount as they discuss Wisconsin’s Democratic governor is asking the Republicans who control the state legislature not to throw his entire budget in the trash. Gov. Tony Evers wants to spend more than a $1.3 billion more over the next two years, but it’s almost certainly not going to happen. The reaction to Gov. Tony Evers is pretty much what you’d expect: Democrats at the Wisconsin Capitol are praising the governor’s spending plan, while Republicans and conservatives are pointing out the problems. The top Republican in the Wisconsin Assembly sounds as if he is confident that lawmakers will find some money to repair American Family Field and keep the Brewers in Milwaukee, but he says Gov. Tony Evers is making it harder than it has to be. --- Listen to Other ATN Productions: America in Focus: A weekly feature of the top TheCenterSquare.com stories of the week out of Washington D.C. with commentary from The Center Square editors and more!
