Wisconsin’s Democratic U.S. Senator is touting about the 250 million-dollars in earmarks she got in the latest federal spending plan.
Senator Tammy Baldwin yesterday said she secured more than a quarter-billion dollars in the omnibus spending package. The money will go to all manner of projects, including a lot of clean energy initiatives, new testing for PFAS pollution, and a couple of million dollars for improvements at UW-Madison. Baldwin calls the money ‘critical investments’ in the state.
We’ll show you different sides so you can decide. Across the aisle, it’s not the same story.
Wisconsin’s Republican U.S. Senator says he voted against the one-point-seven trillion-dollar spending plan in Congress because it simply spends too much.
Senator Ron Johnson last night said the omnibus package is an ‘abomination.’ Johnson tried to delete 11 billion-dollars in earmarks from the package, but was voted down. Johnson says the spending plan adds to the deficit and ‘mortgages our children’s future.’
