MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers used his State of the State address Tuesday to remind Wisconsin of the rough time he faced in 2020 and to lay out some of his big-ticket, bigger government proposals.
But the virtual governor, delivering the annual speech virtually, spent most of his time attacking his conservative opponents, many of whom were in the Assembly chamber as Evers delivered his virtual address.
Republicans hit back in a scouring speech by Assembly Speaker Robin Vos that laid down the gauntlet of the political and idealogical battles ahead.
Evers blasted the Republican-led Legislature for legislative inaction in the months following bipartisan passage of a COVD-19 relief package in April. What he left out is that the state Legislature and the federal government gave the Evers administration more than $2 billion to effectively spend as the governor saw fit to fight the pandemic.
While the governor spoke of the challenges health care providers and small businesses faced because of the pandemic, he left out the fact that his extended statewide lockdown early on put restaurants out of business, hotels on the brink of ruin, and hundreds of thousands of people out of work.
He again blamed old technology and the Republican-controlled Legislature’s failure to replace it for a state Unemployment Insurance System that failed so miserably when a flood of claims began pouring in during the last weeks of March — claims in large part created by Evers’ ill-advised stay-at-home order. read more
Coming to a country near you.
Gordon Ramsey will dominate ‘reality’ TV airwaves going around the world revamping dying restaurants.
Two words sums this bastard up. Madison and Milwaukee.
Dude looks like he hangs out at truck stop glory holes.
Same in Maine.
What an idiotic smile on his face. It looks forced, contrived, like he’s hiding severe depression.
^ Or… he just naturally has that schmuck persona.
He and the New Jersey governor are having a “The most hideous smile contest”
If we could nuke Milwaukee and Dane counties, 99% of Wisconsin’s problems would be solved overnight.
Makes me glad I left the city a long time ago.
Possible analogy for the SAT:
Milwaukee is to X, as Madison is to Y
Ans: X= BLM, Y= Antifa
That contrived smirk reminds me of a child that got away with a whopper of a lie.
It’s the new voting machines I’m worried about. We can’t have Dominion or for that matter Smartmatic in this state or we’ll never see the end of Evers.
Evers is doing to Wisconsin and Walz is doing to Minnesota. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
