Here and Now
State Budget Standoff Remains Unresolved.
Clip: Season 1600 Episode 1602 | 31sVideo has Closed Captions
Wisconsin is one of the few states remaining to pass its budget for the next two years.
It is two weeks into the new fiscal year and Wisconsin still does not have a state budget. Holding up the deal is disagreements on transportation funding. Senate Republicans have largely agreed to Gov. Scott Walker’s demand for no new taxes or fees and propose to borrow more than $700 million to keep construction projects on course. Assembly Republicans, however, are hesitant to borrow.
