The Republicans who control the state legislature want to know why it’s taking so long for some people to get a professional license in Wisconsin.
The Legislature’s Joint Audit Committee yesterday ordered an audit of the Department of Safety and Professional Services. DSPS has been facing questions for months about the months-long backlog for some people to get the license they need to work in the state. Senator Eric Wimberger says lawmakers have asked for answers and gotten nothing in return. He says an audit should find what lawmakers are looking for.
