Gov. Evers Reacts to Spending Amendments

Wisconsin’s governor is officially on the record against the constitutional amendments that would limit his unilateral spending power.

Governor Tony Evers said in a statement yesterday that the constitutional amendments on this month’s ballot are a ‘takeover by the Republican Party.’ The two amendments would give lawmakers some say in how billions of dollars in federal money is spent. Right now, the governor gets to spend that money as he sees fit. Republicans say there needs to be some oversight, especially after how the governor spent over four billion-dollars in COVID money. Voters will have their say on the plans next week.
