Governor Tony Evers’ office says Republican lawmakers are just mad they didn’t get everything they wanted from the new state budget.
A spokeswoman for the governor yesterday called the plan from Republicans in Madison to limit the governor’s veto powers a ‘temper tantrum.’ Wisconsin governors have one of the most powerful veto pens in the country.
Evers made almost 80 vetoes to the latest state budget. Republican state Senator Dave Craig says that is an abuse of power and steps on the toes of the legislative branch.
