Budget passes Senate, heads to Assembly

Posted on July 8, 2015

The Wisconsin Senate passed the state budget late Tuesday on a 18-15 vote.  An amendment by Senator Fred Risser to restore $250 million in funding to UW System failed.

The budget next heads to the Assembly on Wednesday, where it is scheduled to be taken up after 11:30 a.m. and voted on late in the evening. Live coverage is available on Wisconsin Eye.
