Senate Majority Leader Calls For Veto Override Of $75M Grant Program

Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald is calling for Wisconsin lawmakers to override one of the governor’s line-item vetoes.  The Republican made the call after Transportation Secretary Craig Thompson outlined how a new 75-million dollar grant program would work.  It’s open to any transportation project in the state, including Milwaukee’s streetcar called The Hop.  Democrats would have to join in for Fitzgerald to get the votes he needs for an override.
