Summary
A compromise plan to spend Wisconsin’s projected surplus died in the Senate last night, despite bipartisan support in the state Assembly. The plan, brought forward by Governor Evers and Republican legislative leaders, would have spent nearly two billion dollars on school funding and lower taxes.
