The Wisconsin state Legislature passed the 115-day overdue budget that totaled $57.2 million Tuesday evening around 7:30 p.m.
The budget bill made its way through the Republican-controlled state Assembly with a 60-39 vote this evening, and was followed by an 18-15 passage in the Democrat-controlled state Senate.
Gov. Jim Doyle is expected to officially sign the bill in the next few days.
