Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald are demanding that Governor Tony Evers fix the state’s unemployment office.
Thousands of jobless Wisconsin residents have waited more than a month for their unemployment benefits check.
Vos and Fitzgerald say the Department of Workforce Development is breaking the coronavirus relief law passed earlier this year. The two leaders say tax hikes for state businesses could be the result.
They have written a letter saying it’s incomprehensible that D-W-D is making it harder for workers out of a job to get back into the workforce.
