The new Wisconsin state budget is expected to be approved by members of the Assembly when they vote later today (Tuesday). The two-year spending plan should make it through by a wide margin, then the state Senate votes tomorrow. There are some Republican senators who promise to vote against the plan because they think it contains too much new spending. If the budget passes both houses of the Legislature, it will be sent to Governor Tony Evers’ desk — where he will decide what he wants to keep and where he will use his line-item veto to cut things out.
