Amendments to the budget
News summary

Vice President Kamala Harris has quickly focused her presidential campaign on Wisconsin, spending more time there than Hillary Clinton did in 2016. As Wisconsin voters approach the August 13 primary, they will decide on two constitutional amendments that would shift the power of allocating federal funds from the governor to the state legislature. Proposed by Republicans, these amendments aim to ensure legislative oversight over federal money distribution, which Democratic Governor Tony Evers argues would hinder timely responses to crises. Evers has urged voters to reject the measures, emphasizing that they would impede his ability to react swiftly to emergencies. The debate reflects broader tensions about governance and fiscal responsibility in the state, particularly following significant federal funding during the pandemic. As both parties ramp up their campaigns around these amendments, the outcome could reshape the state's budgetary authority significantly.
