(AP) -Democratic Gov. Tony Evers’ proposals for the state prison system, natural resources and workforce development were dissected by Republican lawmakers who control the Legislature’s budget committee.The agencies were on tap Thursday for the second of two days of agency briefings. The hearing with officials from Evers’ administration gives Republicans on the Joint Finance Committee a chance to criticize the new governor’s budget while offering an alternative plan. No votes are taken.
Republicans have been highly critical of Evers’ plans related to the state’s corrections system, bolstering oversight of natural resources and addressing worker shortages. Starting on Friday, the budget committee began hosting public hearings across the state to gather input. They are scheduled in Janesville, Oak Creek, River Falls and Green Bay.
