Wisconsin veterans' cash bonus becomes campaign issue
Wisconsin gubernatorial hopeful Leonard Schmitt proposes a $10 to $15 monthly WWII veteran cash bonus with a $500 max and $50 min funded by tax increases on corporations and high earners. He argues Wisconsin should pay the bonus, citing postwar practice elsewhere, while opponents avoid the topic in party platforms.
