He outlines a list of conditions, including meaningful budget cuts and a $3.5 billion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dem-candidates-husband-locks-down-social-media-over-anti-christian-posts\/\" title=\"Dem Candidate\u2019s Husband Locks Down Social Media Over Anti-Christian Posts\">sales tax rebate<\/a>, aimed at preventing any structural deficit.Nass criticizes the budget as excessive and favorable to special interests, emphasizing that it is not aligned with conservative or taxpayer-kind principles. His opposition, along with that of Senator Chris Kapenga, leaves Senate Republicans without sufficient votes to pass the budget. With a deadline approaching for a new budget, Governor Evers stresses the need for compromise in a politically divided legislature, while Nass stands firm in his demands.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Senate Republican holdout releases budget demands<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2157913\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>(The Center Square) &ndash;&nbsp;One of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/senate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Senate<\/a> Republicans who says he refuses to vote for the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/budgets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">budget<\/a> deal is out with a list of demands of his own.<\/p>\n<p>Sen.

Chris Kapenga, R-Delafield, are both refusing to vote for the spending plan that&rsquo;s been negotiated between Gov. Tony Evers and Assembly Republicans. Without their votes, Senate Republicans do not have enough votes of their own to approve a new state budget.<\/p>\n<p>Last week Senate Republicans walked away from budget talks.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Evers said Senate Republicans need to understand that compromise is necessary.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Compromise is what happens when you have similar numbers of Democrats and Republicans,&rdquo; the governor said.<\/p>\n<p>Nass, however, didn&rsquo;t limit his latest budget criticism to just a list of demands.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/energy-and-environment\/3452622\/pfas-wisconsin-supreme-court-environmental-interests-forever-chemicals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT SIDES WITH ENVIRONMENTAL INTERESTS AGAINST &lsquo;FOREVER CHEMICALS&rsquo;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Vos-Evers budget plan is neither conservative nor taxpayer friendly.
