Gov. Walker Signs Lame-Duck Bills That Curb Evers' Power, Touts $28 Million Kimberly Clark Deal

By J. Carlisle Larsen

Governor Scott Walker signed a series of bills today in Green Bay that would limit the powers of incoming Democratic Governor Tony Evers. Though the move was widely condemned by Democrats and other organizations, Walker and fellow Republicans have argued that Evers' executive powers would be effectively the same. Walker also took time to tout a $28 million deal that would keep paper product manufacturer Kimberly-Clark in Wisconsin. We talk to WPR Capitol Bureau Chief Shawn Johnson about the news.
