Every Wisconsin legislator knows how they want to spend any unexpected windfall in tax collections in the two-year budget cycle that ends in mid-2017. Their wish lists include more money for K-12 schools, especially rural schools; reducing Gov. Scott Walker’s proposed $300-million cut in state aid to the UW System; borrowing less to put more cash into highway construction and maintenance statewide, and maintaining current programs that help seniors and the disabled.
