Following the Money in the 2013-15 State Budget: Builders and Contractors Editions


Associated Builders and Contractors of Wisconsin, Inc.

Lawmaker: WI budget item banning some firms from contract bids is anti-free market. (Wisconsin Reporter, 6/25/2013)

The lawmaker questioning this budget item:  Dean Kaufert (R-Neenah), who received $250 apiece from AGC and ABC.

Excerpt: Gov. Scott Walker (AGC - $1,000;' ABC - $16,000) still could veto the measure, but that seems unlikely. His administration requested the changes through the state Department of Administration.
