The state budget debate continues at the Capitol in Madison. Gov. Tony Evers proposed his budget in February. And just weeks ago, the state Joint Finance Committee essentially threw out about 545 budget priorities from that proposal.

Travis Tranel says just because those items were removed, doesn’t mean they can’t be included in the budget his caucus is now drafting.
