Democrats in the Wisconsin Capitol are advocating for a rollback of spending restrictions within the state’s shared revenue agreement.
The agreement, a component of the state budget, involves sharing more state sales tax revenue with local governments in exchange for imposed spending limits by Republicans.
Democrats argue that these restrictions adversely affect cities, towns, villages, and counties.
They propose retaining the funds, eliminating spending constraints, and empowering local governments to address issues such as banning gas-powered cars, investing in apartment complexes, and granting additional authority to local public health managers for situations like the COVID-19 outbreak.
