Assembly OK's penalizing cities that cut police funding. It puts Madison, Milwaukee in the crosshairs.

MADISON, Wis. Republican leaders in the Assembly gave final approval Tuesday to a bill destined for a likely veto at Gov. Evers’ desk, one that cuts state aid to municipalities that decrease their funding for law enforcement, EMS or fire. By slashing their state aid, the bill penalizes larger municipalities who choose to cut staff positions or funding to their public safety agencies. It’s designed to cut funding by the same amount that a municipality decreases police or fire spending, then allows for retargeting those aid payments for other local governments that didn’t reduce public safety funding. That new decreased amount of state aid would remain in place for subsequent years as well.
