• Republicans block Evers administration from using funds to speed up licensing (greenbaypressgazette.com) — Beaver Dam residents may feel the impact of longer waits for professional licenses as a local lawmaker, Rep. Mark Born, helps lead the committee blocking new funding for the state licensing agency. The dispute pits Gov. Tony Evers’ administration against Republican legislators over whether to allow nearly $2 million for added staff and technology to keep processing times from slipping back toward past backlogs.
