Shilling Gets Walker Nod On Legislation
A package of jobs bills released Tuesday by Governor Scott
Walker would cost $8.5 million dollars in state funds, with an extra $13 million in federal funds. The most expensive bill comes from Democrats. La Crosse Senator Jennifer Shilling proposed $4 million dollars for vocational rehab services to help those with disabilities. She explains the cost involved.
Shilling says the effort would generate $14 million in federal funds. She expects it will gain approval in Madison along with the other jobs bills released.
