Wisconsin’s incoming governor says he is “hopeful” his predecessor will veto the series of bills passed in last week’s lame-duck session at the Capitol. Democrat Tony Evers says he spoke with Republican Governor Scott Walker on the phone. He admits Walker didn’t make a commitment to reject the package of measures designed to limit the powers of the new governor and attorney general. Evers has called the bills a rebuke of the will of Wisconsin voters. Walker has six days from the time he got the bills to decide whether to sign them into law.
