MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker will deliver his budget address to the state Legislature on Feb. 8. Walker alerted lawmakers on Tuesday that he will unveil his two-year spending plan that day. The speech will be at 4 p.m., breaking with the tradition of nighttime addresses. The budget comes as Walker is expected to mount a re-election bid for a third term in 2018. Walker has promised his budget will cut tuition for University of Wisconsin undergraduates, put more money toward K-12 schools, not raise taxes to pay for roads and force more welfare recipients to work or lose benefits. Once Walker officially releases his budget, the Republican-controlled Legislature will make changes over the next four months or so. A vote on passage is expected around July.
