Budget Heads to Walker’s Desk
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | July 9, 2015
The two-year budget is now headed to Gov. Scott Walker’s desk, giving him a narrow window to sign the document ahead of his presidential announcement on Monday.
The Assembly concurred on the Senate-amended budget 52-46 as 11 Republicans joined Dems in opposing the bill. The current budget cycle ended on June 30, but majority GOP lawmakers went past the deadline to wrestle with sticky issues like transportation and prevailing wage.
The 11 Republicans who voted against the budget all hail from some of the most competitive seats in the chamber.
They are:
Kathy Bernier of Chippewa Falls
Ed Brooks of Reedsburg
James “Jimmy Boy” Edming of Glen Flora
Dave Heaton of Wausau
Scott Krug of Nekoosa
Lee Nerison of Westby
Todd Novak of Dodgeville
Warren Petryk of Eleva
Keith Ripp of Lodi
Travis Tranel of Cuba City
Nancy VanderMeer of Tomah
Dem Rep. Chris Danou was absent for the debate.
