As reported by WisPolitics.com, the Joint Finance Committee reworked the Evers administration’s $36 million plan for opioid settlement funds in the upcoming fiscal year to send more money to capital projects, medication assisted treatment and law enforcement, among other things. In all, the committee signed off unanimously on redirecting $15.5 million of the funds that GOP members proposed. Rep. Tip McGuire, D-Kenosha, said he largely supported the changes, though he found some investments lacking. But Co-chair Mark Born, R-Beaver Dam, countered that the GOP plan makes investments in other prevention efforts. That includes, for example, $1 million more for community-based prevention grants than what DHS had proposed.
