Senate Near-Unanimous for Two Measures
The Wisconsin Senate approved two administration proposals authored by Sen. Walter S. Goodland. The budget bill passed unanimously 32 to 0 with one absence, while the highway bill failed 30 to 2. The budget measure would create a governor-appointed budget director with extensive oversight of state finances, audits, and departmental consolidation to boost efficiency, serving under a defined two-year budget cycle. The highway bill reorganizes the highway commission into three full-time, salaried members appointed by the governor, with debates over removing ex officio geologist and engineering dean positions.
