How would the amendment change how federal funds are allocated?
The amendment would require legislative approval via a joint resolution or legislative rule in order for the governor to allocate federal funds on behalf of the state. Currently, state law authorizes the governor to accept and allocate federal funds.

Does this help ordinary Wisconsinites when emergencies happen? 

No, adding a layer of legislative gridlock before money can be allocated means ordinary Wisconsinites suffer longer before relief is available.  Only the governor is elected by all Wisconsinites, making him uniquely responsive to the state as a whole. 

No, the resolution that placed this amendment on the ballot placed a second ballot question on the ballot, which would prohibit the legislature from delegating its power to appropriate money.
