MacIver Institute pushing for budget process reforms after impasse

(The Center Square) – A Wisconsin conservative policy group is suggesting the state rethink its budget process after negotiations between Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and Republican legislative leaders failed to succeed in reaching a compromise.

Now, those Republican leaders say they will push forward creating a budget through the state’s Joint Finance Committee. The committee is set to meet again at 1 p.m. Tuesday with 16 agenda items including adjusting revenue projections for lottery administration, state and local finance, excise tax regulation and enforcement, tax administration and department wide expenses.
