State Budget-Writing Committee Hopes to Finish Budget by Thursday

Tuesday, June 15th, 2021 -- 10:00 AM

(AP) How much and what taxes to cut is one of the largest remaining questions for the Legislature’s budget-writing committee to tackle this week as it nears the end of its work writing the state budget.

The panel hopes to complete its work on Thursday. It has dramatically scaled back the two-year spending plan from what Gov. Tony Evers proposed in February. Once passed by the committee, the Senate and Assembly will vote on the budget, likely the last week of June.

Once passed by the Legislature, it then heads to Evers who has broad line-item veto authority.
