MADISON, Wis. (CBS 58) -- At the State Capitol, talks on building the next Wisconsin budget are moving very slowly.
The Joint Finance Committee has yet to resume its work after canceling the meeting it had set for last Thursday.
Assembly Republicans said Tuesday, June 24, they are still hoping to negotiate the framework of a budget with Gov. Tony Evers.
GOP leaders are seeking tax cuts while Evers and Democrats want increased funding for education and child care.
A pair of key Senate Republicans are withholding support and Tuesday, Assembly lawmakers called on them to help find a compromise.
"We're hopeful that our Senate colleagues will join us in the next couple of days and get this budget out of the committee, a good compromise budget out of the committee and into both houses and get this budget passed for the people of Wisconsin," said State Rep. Mark Born, R-Beaver Dam.
The current budget cycle ends on Monday.
If there's no deal by then, spending will continue at current levels.
However, local governments and school districts will need an updated budget by this fall when they plan their own spending for next year.
