VOTE “YES” ON THE AUGUST 13 BALLOT QUESTIONS

The questions read as follows: The first question reads: “Shall Article IV, Section 35(1) of the Wisconsin Constitution be created to provide that the Legislature may not delegate its sole power to determine how moneys shall be appropriated.” The second question reads: “Shall Article IV, Section 35(2) of the Wisconsin Constitution be created to prohibit the governor from allocating any federal moneys the Governor accepts on behalf of the state without the approval of the Legislature by joint resolution or as provided by legislative rule?” A “yes” vote to these amendment questions means that you believe the legislative branch should always have the final say on how the state spends its money and that it should have to sign off before the governor can spend any federal money that comes into Wisconsin. THIS IS HOW THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE…LEGISLATIVE OVERSIGHT MATTERS!
