DE PERE, WI (WTAQ) – During a bill signing in De Pere, Governor Walker gave a prediction on when he thinks a budget agreement might happen.
“I’m convinced it will get done this summer. What date it is, I don’t know but at a former local official, I know that crunch time is the fall,” Walker said.
Walker says the education part of the budget is mostly ironed out…as for transportation, there’s still some work to do.
“To get something done, you got to give. The beautiful part about this is, you’ve heard me say this over and over again, it’s not huge differences. The gaps are a degree. We’re going to put more money in the roads. The question is how much.”
He says he meets with Assembly Speaker Robin Vos every week and recently spoke with State Senator Scott Fitzgerald last week.
Walker was in De Pere signing 4 new HOPE Agenda bills into law Monday morning at the Medical College of Wisconsin on the St. Norbert College Campus.
