Republican lawmakers are touting money allocated to their states under the law as they work to cut its funding.

The state Legislature should serve all Wisconsinites by supporting key programs in Gov. Tony Evers’ proposed budget.

Wisconsin will receive $250 million, funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, over five years to replace lead service lines.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said she would sign the bill, which allocates $1.7 billion toward clean water projects in the state.

States and cities have worked for years to replace pipes and service lines, but efforts have lagged in many places in part because of the steep price tag.
