Welfare plan would fund Wisconsin institutions overhaul
Gov. Rennebohm backed bill promises about 1 million in supplementary operating funds to boost the state welfare system. The plan adds dozens of specialized workers for five mental hospitals and the Sparta Child Center, raises pay for attendants, expands the Sparta field service, and creates a new medium security prison at an alternate site. Legislative leaders expect swift approval though new construction depends on tax policy.
