Wisconsin may not be throwing away its shot of legalizing online betting. All eyes are now on @GovEvers, who has not said whether he will sign the bill wanted by Wisconsin tribes but opposed by the nation's largest online gambling sites apnews.com/article/sports…

@GovEvers Democrats said they were voting to support Wisconsin's tribes, which would run the online gambling. Some of the nation's largest current providers of online sports betting opposed the measure. Under Wisconsin's constitution, gambling is only legal on tribal land

Wisconsin Senate passes bill legalizing online sports betting, sending it to @GovEvers but it's not clear whether he will sign it. 12 Democrats joined with nine Republicans voting in support of the measure. Three Democrats and nine Republicans voted no.

@GovEvers “This is another example of what's wrong with politics," Republican Sen. Steve Nass said during debate Tuesday. "Voters didn't elect Republicans and Democrats to bring more gambling to the state of Wisconsin.”

The Wisconsin Legislature sent a $133 million plan to combat contamination from so-called forever chemicals to @GovEvers, promising an end to years of squabbling between the Democratic governor and Republican lawmakers over how to address the issue. apnews.com/article/pfas-w…

@GovEvers @WisconsinEye Vos says Republicans have to make Republican gubernatorial candidate @TomTiffanyWI more well known in the southeastern third of the state where he is less well known. Vos says "minor" candidates are running for governor on the Democratic side

@GovEvers Vos on the future of @WisconsinEye: "I hope they survive. I'm going to do everything I can to help them survive to the next budget cycle." Vos says he floated the idea of the Legislature paying a third of the costs, if the executive and judicial branches would pay the rest

Outgoing Assembly Speaker @repvos comes out swinging at the @WisPolitics luncheon when describing supporters of President Donald Trump who tried unsuccessfully to recall him from office: "Screw them." Vos also repeated his description of those seeking his recall as "whack jobs"
