MADISON – This evening, Governor Tony Evers gave his second budget address, sharing his fiscal priorities to continue Wisconsin’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and describing how these choices will lay the foundation to increased prosperity and community as we move forward. Assembly Democratic Leader Gordon Hintz (D-Oshkosh) released the following statement on the Governor’s address and the biennial budget proposal:
“Governor Evers articulated a progressive plan to invest in Wisconsin’s public schools, increase access to affordable health care, spur economic development in every part of our state, and ensure our local government partners have the resources to respond to important needs close to home. He proposed steps to increase Wisconsin’s sustainability, continue our commitment to preserving Wisconsin’s natural resources, invest in our agricultural economy, and ensure access to high-speed internet in all parts of the state. “I look forward to an engaging budget dialogue with my colleagues in the coming months, and I urge them to come to this process with an open mind. Let’s listen to our constituents, set aside partisan games, and pass a budget that puts the people of Wisconsin first.” |
