MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Democratic Gov. Tony Evers promises to veto a wide-ranging Republican plan to bolster aid to local governments, saying the measure moving rapidly through the GOP-controlled Legislature doesn’t give enough money to communities struggling to pay for police, fire and other services. Republican authors of the bill said at a hearing Thursday they remained open to making changes. Republicans want to pass the bill in mid-May.
