AGP Executive Report
Last update: 17 minutes agoState Budget Showdown: Wisconsin lawmakers moved closer to a vote on the $1.8B surplus deal—rebate checks ($600 married/$300 single), property tax relief, and K-12 funding—after the Joint Finance Committee advanced the bill 12-4 along party lines, with Democrats warning it’s a short-term gimmick that doesn’t fix long-term school funding problems. Education Funding Fight: The deal’s headline is a jump in special education reimbursement to 50%, but districts and Democrats say structural issues remain; MPS leaders still don’t know exact dollars and are weighing cuts while waiting. Courts & Accountability: Evers is seeking applicants for a Grant County Circuit Court vacancy, while Oconto Falls School District asks a federal judge to dismiss a decades-old Title IX lawsuit alleging repeated sexual misconduct. Public Safety & Community: National Police Week continues with Wisconsin officers honored in D.C., including Milwaukee’s Kendall Corder, and local agencies push seat belt enforcement. Economy & Cost Pressure: Inflation headlines keep rising, with energy costs tied to Iran cited in new reporting, and Wisconsin milk pricing updates show dairy markets still shifting.
