Wisconsin's Legislature expected to kill legalized marijuana, stadium renovations with single vote

Wisconsin's GOP-controlled legislature is expected to kill legalized marijuana, paid family leave program, and over 500 other proposed items by Gov. Tony Evers with a single vote.

Starting Tuesday, and likely continuing into June, the Joint Finance Committee will take a series of votes to build its own two-year spending plan which will then go to the Senate and Assembly for approval. Once passed, Evers can make changes through his powerful veto, which is what he did with the past two budgets he signed that included both Republican and Democratic priorities.

The state has a projected $7 billion budget surplus, money that Evers had proposed tapping to pay for a wide array of spending priorities that Republicans are killing.
