MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says that Republicans are “done negotiating” on a bill that would increase state aid to local governments, unveiling a new proposal that Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and the GOP-controlled Senate have yet to agree to. The Assembly passed the latest version on Wednesday hours after Evers expressed optimism that a bipartisan agreement could be reached. Wisconsin’s local governments have been clamoring for years for more state aid to help cover basic services.
