Two months after Gov. Tony Evers convened a special session to call on lawmakers to pass workforce development legislation, Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature on Tuesday passed their version of the bill, which nixes nearly all of the governor's programs, including childcare funding and a paid leave program. 

The GOP bill instead includes a more than $2 billion income tax cut, increases childcare tax credits, and expands tax deductions for private school tuition. It also would make changes to licensing requirements and unemployment insurance eligibility.
