Wisconsin’s Democratic governor is meeting with Republican legislative leaders for the second time in less than two weeks.
When Governor Tony Evers sits down with Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu today (Tuesday) the focus will be on the state’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The group talked about possible legislation during the last meeting 10 days ago. Both sides say that session was “productive.”
The Wisconsin Legislature hasn’t passed any coronavirus-related relief bills since April when it allocated the $2.3 billion the state was receiving as part of the federal CARES Act.
