GOP skepticism about climate change is putting a damper on Governor Evers’ plan to reinstate more researchers.
A top Republican senator reportedly said the Republican majority on the Legislature’s budget committee agreed to restore two of 18 researchers previously cut by the Walker administration. But, officials with the Evers’ administration say two researchers aren’t enough. Evers says more research needs to be done on issues like climate change’s effect on lakes, streams and drinking water, along with invasive species and contaminated sewage.
