Wisconsin set to finish fiscal year in $283 million hole

MADISON - New nonpartisan projections show Wisconsin is on track to finish the current fiscal year with a larger shortfall than Gov. Scott Walker's administration anticipated.

The Legislative Fiscal Bureau released a report Friday that shows the state is expected to finish the year that ends June 30 with a $283.4 million shortfall. Walker's administration had projected in November the state would finish the year $132.1 million in the red.

Walker's administration will have to plug the hole before the end of the year. The governor's spokeswoman didn't immediately return an email message seeking comment.
