Budget Update

Protests over Governor Scott Walker’s budget repair bill continue in Madison two weeks after the controversial legislation was introduced. The Senate took up the bill (AB-11) at its floor session last week with all 14 Democratic senators absent. The bill was debated and given its second and third readings. Currently, both versions of the bill, SB-11 and AB-11, are ready for a vote on final passage in the Senate, which still does not have the 3/5 quorum required for passage of fiscal bills.
