Republican state senator pushes Wisconsin governor to hand over $170M in interest on unspent funds

Published | Video Starts at 00:41

That's unspent. And that's why it was never spent is because it was cost swapped out during that time period. Interest was accumulating on that corpus. Right now there's $170 million that he refuses to turn over to the treasury and it's contrary to law. It's actually a misdemeanor. And he's personally responsible for any deficiencies. And he has failed to turn it over. Refused to turn it over. Actually, we've just been monitoring it for over a year. (00:41–00:48)

CLAIM

Asserts that $170 million in interest is not being turned over to the treasury, which is against the law.
