Center Stage, With Milfred And Hands

Milfred and Hands look back at monstrous vetoes from Wisconsin's past, and ahead to further constitutional limits in light of Gov. Tony Evers' latest vetoes. Evers used his remaining partial veto powers to "undelete" language lawmakers had removed from the state budget. That's being called the "zombie" veto because he brought dead language back to life. Evers then combined some of the numbers he resuscitated with other numbers in the budget to increase spending by millions of dollars -- without legislative approval. Some lawmakers want to ban governors from vetoing higher spending into law, which makes sense to our editorial board members.
