Former Governor Talks Spending, Amendments

One of Wisconsin’s former governors is supporting the push to give state lawmakers a say in how Wisconsin spends billions of dollars in federal money.

Governor Tommy Thompson yesterday said he supports the constitutional amendments that would have the governor work with the legislature to spend any future federal dollars. Thompson said government works best when it works together. There are two amendments on this month’s ballot that would change the constitution, and stop Wisconsin’s governor’s from making all federal spending decisions on their own.
