MADISON, Wis. (AP) — One of the state Assembly’s top Republicans says he expects GOP leaders probably will meet again next week to hash out their differences on the state budget. Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke, Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald and Gov. Scott Walker met on Wednesday in Walker’s office. Steineke told reporters that no substantial negotiations took place. He said Senate Republicans plan to meet Thursday to discuss the budget. He says GOP leaders will wait to see what comes out of that meeting and likely get together again early next week. Fitzgerald spokeswoman Myranda Tanck confirmed Senate Republicans planned to caucus Thursday morning. Walker spokesman Tom Evenson says the governor plans to have ongoing discussions with legislators. Assembly and Senate Republicans are at loggerheads on how to pay for road work and how much money to give public schools.
