Governor Evers is promising local governments more money if he is re-elected.
The governor yesterday said he is going to pour about 100 million-dollars more into city, county, and township governments in his second term. The governor wants to earmark the money for public safety. Republican lawmakers say the governor’s promise is an empty election-year plan that he cannot deliver on. The Republicans say the governor has had almost four years to do more for local governments, but has waited until just a few weeks before Election Day to announce his new funding plan.
