Tony Evers calls special session to fund child care, expand paid family leave in Wisconsin

Evers on Tuesday proposed spending $197 million to build a new engineering building on UW-Madison’s campus. He also proposed spending $66 million for the UW System’s general operations.

The GOP-led Legislature rejected funding the engineering building earlier this year and reduced the UW System’s overall budget despite Evers’ calls to spend hundreds of millions more.
