Gov. Tony Evers delivered his budget address late last week to rousing applause from Democrats. He included everything from a program that would provide drivers licenses for undocumented immigrants -- to a repeal of the lame duck laws that the Republican-controlled legislature passed in an attempt to weaken his powers.

GOP leaders indicated they'll ignore many of Evers' proposals, and craft their own spending plan, using the current fiscal year's "base" budget. JR Ross, of WisPolitics.com, says that means they would work from the current budget, left over from when Republican Scott Walker was governor. It remains to be seen whether lawmakers would go through every single department line by line, or only focus on the major policy items that are in Evers' budget, such as taxes.
