Republicans say the Wisconsin Senate will be voting to override the Democratic governor’s veto of three dozen bills
Republicans said Monday that the state Senate would be voting to override the governor's veto of three dozen bills on everything from fighting PFAS pollution to doing away with work permit requirements for teenagers — moves that Democrats derided as desperate election year stunts. At the same time, Democratic Gov. Tony Evers countersued the Republican-controlled Legislature in a fight over the spending of $50 million on a new literacy program.
” Marklein cast the veto overrides as the last chance to spend $125 million fighting PFAS pollution and to spend $15 million in response to hospital closures in rural parts of western Wisconsin . “I don’t see any other pathway, unfortunately,' Marklein said. Evers and lawmakers have been fighting for months over the best way to combat PFAS chemicals that have polluted groundwater in communities throughout the state.
