WEST ALLIS, Wisc. – Tony Evers’ failure to be an even minimally-competent governor is becoming increasingly clear. The latest evidence of this comes from a report by the nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau on his slipshod oversight of nearly a hundred million dollars in broadband grants.
As reported today: “Broadband service providers that received millions of dollars in grants aimed at expanding high speed internet in Wisconsin failed to document what they actually spent on their projects…What’s more, the PSC did not document its efforts to verify that grant recipients had built the high-speed internet infrastructure for which they were reimbursed.”
Business leader Tim Michels said politicians put out press releases and hold photo ops with big checks, but leaders actually get things done and make sure they are done right:
“You would think a career bureaucrat like Tony Evers could at least get his state agencies to perform their duties. But we see the same, tired, old story: Failure after failure after failure. Tony Evers can’t lead. Like his mentor Joe Biden, he’s in over his head and his time is up.”
The LAB report is just the latest to show how Tony Evers has failed the people of Wisconsin in innumerable ways. From his deadly failure betraying our veterans at the Union Grove veterans home, to his incompetence getting unemployment checks to people whose jobs he deemed “non-essential” during the pandemic, to his licensing agency forcing hard-working professionals to wait months before getting a Tony Evers permission slip to work, to the decline of education on his watch, Evers has let the people of Wisconsin down time and time again.
