Wisconsin: Walker to Sign Budget Repealing Living Wage

HeadlineJul 10, 2015

Wisconsin Republican Governor Scott Walker is poised to sign a bill banning non-emergency abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, with no exception for rape or incest. As Walker prepares to launch his presidential campaign on Monday, he is also expected to sign a state budget which slashes funding for the University of Wisconsin, expands the voucher program for private schools, requires drug testing for welfare recipients and eliminates the state’s living wage law.
