The results of the Nov. 8 general election left Wisconsin's split-government status quo largely unchanged.Â
Robert La Follette was a progressive governor and 1924 presidential candidate who also spent just over 19 years in the U.S. Senate.
The bill would allow the public to listen to commission embers deciding whether to release prisoners on parole.
In his visit Biden will highlight how his economic plan "is creating good-paying, union jobs" and delivering results for Americans, according to his press release.
The two top options being discussed are adjusting the state's income tax to benefit middle class earners or eliminating the current tax and creating a 3.25% flat tax.
The bill would ensure that health plans count copay assistance and coupons toward the patient's maximum out-of-pocket cost or annual deductible.
Evers will unveil his formal budget request on Feb. 15. From there, the Republican-controlled budget committee will rewrite the document before sending it back to the governor.
The governor's budget proposal is all but certain to receive pushback from legislative Republicans, who have championed the need to implement a flat income tax in Wisconsin.
