Gov. Walker says he's open to adding money for schools, roads, UW

WATERTOWN (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker says he's open to adding more money for public schools, the University of Wisconsin and roads as long as property taxes are still cut.

Walker told reporters Thursday that he suspects those are the three areas that the Legislature will want to add more money from what he proposed in the state budget. He says how much gets added will depend on how rosy new spring revenue estimates are.

Republicans who control the Legislature have targeted all three of those areas for changes from what Walker proposed.

Walker is calling for a $300 million cut to UW, borrowing $1.3 billion to pay for roads and holding K-12 state aid flat over two years.

Walker says he's willing to work with the Legislature on all three.
