If the state of Wisconsin would have spent more money on local elections, one Eau Claire lawmaker says the state’s five largest Democratic cities wouldn’t have had to turn to Mark Zuckerberg for money during the 2020 election.
State Rep. Jodi Emerson from Eau Claire on Capital City Sunday defended Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Racine, and Kenosha for taking nearly nine million-dollars in grant money during the last presidential election. Wisconsin’s special election investigator says that money was essentially a bribe. Emerson said the legislature should have shared more money with local governments so their election operations were fully funded.
