On Thursday, Wisconsin’s Joint Committee on Finance held an executive session on the state’s biennial budget. One of the biggest sections of the budget is on the state’s Department of Corrections.

Wisconsin's state budget is projected to see revenue growth of $4.4 billion above previous estimates by the middle of 2023.

Republicans in control of the Wisconsin Legislature's budget committee approved nearly $1.5 billion in building projects around the state Tuesday, about $810 million less than Democratic Gov. Tony Evers proposed.

Democratic Gov. Tony Evers refused to rule out the possibility of vetoing the entire state budget that's currently being written by a Republican-controlled legislative committee.

Republicans, along a party line vote, essentially scrapped the Wisconsin Democratic governor's entire two-year spending proposal and instead began crafting their own budget based off of the current budget.

Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley and Milwaukee Common Council President Cavalier Johnson attended the Joint Committee on Finance hearing Wednesday. They said without the ability to increase revenue, continue budget cuts would be required.
