The co-chairs of the Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee launched the first in a series of biennial budget agency briefings on Tuesday with an aggressive attack on Gov. Tony Evers’ entire budget proposal. The Evers budget is “irresponsible” Sen. Howard Marklein (R-Spring Green) declared, and “reverses ten years of sound fiscal policy.”

“Our reforms over the last ten years have put us in the best financial shape in the history of our state,” Marklein boasted echoing the GOP’s top fiscal talking point. “It is concerning that this proposal reverses years of progress in just two short years.”

State senators have passed a bill aimed at preventing a backlog of sexual assault kits in Wisconsin, a move that comes about a year after a similar effort failed in the Legislature.
The proposal was one of several Senators passed Tuesday on a wide range of topics, from a requirement that schools teach students about the Holocaust to a new rule that could affect how judges handle child custody cases.
The bill on sexual assault kits, often called “rape kits,” is identical to the one that passed the Senate on a voice vote a year ago only to get hung up in the Assembly, where Republicans insisted on changes.
