Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, seeking to shape his state in a way that may boost his 2016 Republican presidential prospects, outlined a two-year budget that will please his party’s core voters.
The second-term governor called for reduced funding for a university known for its Democratic leanings, drug screening for some who receive unemployment insurance or public assistance and the removal of a cap on the state’s private-school voucher program.
