(Madison, WI) — As expected, Governor Tony Evers wants to spend a lot more money in Wisconsin’s new state budget. The governor delivered his budget address to lawmakers last night, and proposed a nearly 104 billion-dollar spending plan. That’s more than 20 billion larger than the current state budget. The governor wants to spend more on everything from public schools, to a new paid-family-leave plan for Wisconsin, and he wants to expand Medicaid in the state. Governor Evers says his new budget will ‘invest’ in Wisconsin. The governor did not, however, mention his plan to spend 300 million-dollars on maintenance at American Family Field.
