MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — An expected outcome at the Capitol.
Republican legislative leaders in the state Senate and Assembly gaveled in and out of session on Wednesday, after signaling they’d take no action on a special session from Democratic Governor Tony Evers almost as soon as he called it more than a month ago.
Evers wanted lawmakers to take up a $1 billion workforce development package, including $365 million to support hard-pressed child care providers.
In a statement, Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu faulted Evers for twice vetoing a bill that would have imposed work-search requirements on welfare recipients.
