todaySeptember 20, 2017

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker has vetoed a provision in the state budget that would have allowed low-spending public school districts to raise more money. Walker announced the veto Wednesday, saying the move would have resulted in schools being able to levy more in property taxes without voter input. The provision was spearheaded by the Republican co-chair of the Legislature’s budget-writing Joint Finance Committee, Rep. John Nygren.
