County Executive David Crowley Statement on Governor Evers Executive Budget Proposal
MILWAUKEE – Yesterday, Governor Tony Evers unveiled his 2025-27 Executive Budget at the Wisconsin State Capitol. Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley attended the Governor’s address in Madison and issued the following statement regarding the proposed investments included in the biennial state budget that will support workers, families, and children in Milwaukee County and across Wisconsin.
“Specifically, I appreciate the Governor’s budget proposal that increases public safety funding for court operations, assistant district attorneys, youth corrections, and more. As the costs to administer state-mandated public safety services continue to rise, these funding increases are needed now more than ever to make our neighborhoods safer – not just in Milwaukee County, but across all 72 counties in Wisconsin. I’m also encouraged by the budget increases in mass transit aid and transportation funding so we can keep investing in our infrastructure, supporting job creation efforts, and maintaining public transit services for people in Milwaukee County. Workforce development also remains a top priority for local leaders throughout the Badger State, so it’s great to see this budget continue deploying investments to tackle the workforce challenges ahead.
“Overall, I appreciate the Governor’s and Wisconsin State Legislature’s continued track record of investing in Milwaukee County. Now that the Governor’s biennial budget proposal has been introduced, I look forward to working with legislative leaders and state lawmakers in Madison to pass a budget that strengthens our partnership with the State of Wisconsin, invests back in our communities, and delivers results for workers, families, and children in Milwaukee County.”
