In this week’s Capitol Chats podcast, Keep Our Republic member and former U.S. Attorney John Vaudreuil says President Donald Trump’s call to “nationalize” elections doesn’t pass constitutional muster. Vaudreuil also argues Trump is seeking to sow distrust in elections ahead of the midterms.
Evers had called on the Legislature to pass a package that included $365 million in new child care funding; a $65 million boost in University of Wisconsin funding; $200 million to pay for a new engineering building at UW-Madison; $243 million to create a new 12-week family medical leave program for Wisconsin workers and millions more for workforce education and grant programs.
The Republican bill would also create a state tax credit for families paying for child care; increase income tax deductions for private school tuition; make professional credentials granted to workers in other states valid in Wisconsin; and prohibit state examining boards from requiring counselors, therapists and pharmacists pass tests on state law and regulations. 😳
