Wisconsin Senate Passes Budget With Tax Cuts and University Funding Cuts

The Republican-controlled Wisconsin Senate approved a two-year budget with tax cuts that most benefit the wealthy.
The budget cuts funding for the University of Wisconsin by nearly $500 million, prompting criticism from Democrats.
The budget now heads to the state Assembly and then Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, who can veto parts of the budget.
The budget includes increased K-12 school funding but cuts funding for UW and programs like diversity, equity and inclusion.
Evers previously threatened to veto the budget over cuts to UW, and Republicans refused to fund UW's top building priority.
