Wisconsin’s smaller stimulus check from Washington. D.C. will change how much the state spends, not where it plans to spend the money.
Governor Tony Evers this week said the amounts will change, but the ‘buckets’ will not. The Treasury Department this week said Wisconsin will get two-and-a-half-billion-dollars in stimulus money as opposed to three-point-two-billion. The governor says Wisconsin lost 700-million-dollars because its unemployment rate is better than most other states.
