Wisconsin Senate kills plan for direct borrowing on state buildings
The Wisconsin Senate defeated a proposed constitutional revision allowing direct borrowing for building and improvements in a near party line 19 to 12 vote. Sen. Carl Lauri led the plan, arguing loans could be negotiated at lower rates, with debt limited to 1 percent of property value, about 160 million dollars. Senate Democrats also opposed a sales tax expansion to fund state needs, while Assembly Democrats announced a sales tax stance. An Assembly measure to raise motor vehicle licenses by 1 to fund county traffic patrols would yield about 2.6 million dollars for a state wide coordinating committee.
