In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys dive deep into the newly passed state budget, a contentious middle-of-the-road compromise that required Democratic votes to clear the State Senate, leaving conservatives frustrated with the Senate’s muddled strategy—or lack thereof. The hosts break down the budget’s impacts, from UW system funding to boosted childcare allocations, and analyze why Democrats, now decrying the deal as too conciliatory, are intensifying calls for Gov. Tony Evers to step aside in 2026. Legislators’ blunt statements fuel the debate, with some Republicans slamming the Senate’s approach. The episode also probes Evers’ unexplained veto of a river dredging project, raising eyebrows. Finally, the hosts call out Democratic hypocrisy, predicting they’ll claim credit for a budget they largely opposed. Candy stories and more are teased for a Part 2 episode.
