Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) is looking to invest about $2.38 billion in the state’s infrastructure for 2021-23, as proposed in his capital budget plan unveiled Feb. 22. Prominent with Evers' proposal were a $163-million state office building project in Milwaukee, and a $150-million engineering research building at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, among others.
Lawmakers also will be considering a $91-billion state budget, which Evers proposed on Feb. 16, which Republicans are already opposing due to the proposal to generate sales tax revenues by legalizing marijuana.
