Gov. Evers Releases Statement Regarding Wisconsinites Rejecting Two Constitutional Amendments Backed by GOP Lawmakers
MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today released a statement regarding Wisconsinites’ rejection of two constitutional amendments added by Republican lawmakers to the August primary ballot in an effort to erode checks and balances and the ability of the governor of Wisconsin to accept and allocate federal funds on behalf of the state:
“Our economic recovery didn’t happen by accident—it happened in large part because my administration and I made smart, strategic decisions that not only responded to immediate needs and crises but looked toward the future to build a better, safer, and stronger economy and state. We worked quickly to respond to a global crisis expeditiously, effectively, and efficiently even as other branches of government, at best, consistently failed to meet that moment and, at worst, actively sought to make our work more difficult.
“I am incredibly proud of the investments I’ve directed to support farmers, working families, and small businesses, expand high-speed internet, help prevent child care costs from getting any higher, improve community safety, provide school-based mental health services for kids, and invest in economic development projects that will benefit communities across our state for generations.
“This was a referendum on our administration’s work and the future for Wisconsin we’ve been working hard to build together, and the answer is reflected in the people’s vote tonight.”
