Republicans running the Wisconsin Legislature have just released the first list of actions they plan to take on the next state budget—starting with killing 612 items requested by Gov. Tony Evers and a parade of Wisconsinites testifying at Joint Finance Committee hearings. Help for childcare? Gone. Help with children being poisoned by lead paint or water lines? Gone. Fighting PFAS in drinking water? Gone. Expanding Medicaid to cover more families? Gone. Repealing taxes on tips and utility bills? Gone. Incentives to freeze local property taxes? Gone. And on it goes.
