Gov.Evers Unveils Veterans Plan

The preview for Governor Evers’ budget for veterans in Wisconsin focuses on hiring more state workers, and doesn’t mention the troubled veterans home at Union Grove.

The governor unveiled his proposal yesterday. In all, the governor wants to spend 24 million-dollars more at the Department of Veterans Affairs. A good chunk of that money, about nine million-dollars, would go toward new programs for veterans. Another nearly eight million-dollars would go to hire new nurses, or give current nurses at the state’s veterans’ homes raises. The governor’s outline doesn’t mention the veterans home at Union Grove, which is ranked among the worst in the country and is under scrutiny for poor care and a lack of nurses.

The governor will deliver his full budget next week.
