By TODD RICHMOND Associated Press MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Republicans moved a step closer toward finishing their work on their $87 billion state budget Tuesday, pushing the spending plan through the Assembly and on to the Senate. The Assembly passed the budget 64-34. Four Democrats — Reps. Deb Andraca, Steve Doyle, Beth Meyers and Don Vruwink — joined Republicans in voting for the document. The vote sends the spending plan on to the Senate, which is expected to take it up Wednesday. Senate approval would send it on to Democratic Gov. Tony Evers. The governor will then have to decide whether to sign the plan that’s largely been stripped of his biggest priorities, or take the highly unusual route of vetoing the entire plan. Evers has broad power to line-item veto the budget, which he did two years ago after the GOP-authored plan passed with no Democratic votes.
