Governor Evers Calls Veto Limit Proposal A 'Tantrum'

(Madison, WI) -- Governor Tony Evers' office says Republican lawmakers are just mad they didn't get everything they wanted from the new state budget. A spokeswoman for the governor yesterday called the plan from Republicans in Madison to limit the governor's veto powers a 'temper tantrum.' Wisconsin governors have one of the most powerful veto pens in the country. The move comes a week after Evers issued 68 partial vetoes on the state budget and used his veto pen to increase K-12 education spending by about $65 million. Republican state Senator Dave Craig says that is an abuse of power and steps on the toes of the legislative branch.
