WSJ: The state Justice Department asked legislators Wednesday forpermission to spend an additional $788,000 to ensure the agency can keep upwith concealed carry applications.
The law authorized the department to spend $236,700 fromapplication fees to hire one full-time employee and 10 temporary employees tohandle the applications. It wasn't enough; the department was forced to pullemployees from other assignments to help.
In December, the Legislature's budget committee approved adepartment request to release more application fee revenue to hire 21additional workers to beef up the approval operation and offset the impendingloss of the initial temporary workers. The department needs $384,520 to hireeight two-year workers to replace the soon-to-be lost temps.
Erik Peterson, chief-of-staff for Sen. Lena Taylor, aMilwaukee Democrat and a long-time finance member, said he doubted anyDemocratic members would raise any objections.
