MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin’s budget problem got worse Thursday.
The shortfall for the current fiscal year has increased by more than 70 percent from $346 million to $593 million, the Legislative Fiscal Office reported Thursday.
Lawmakers must come up with a way to plug that gap between now and June 30.
Over the next two years they face a shortfall that now is $5.7 billion and could grow larger still.
