GOVERNOR EVERS EXPECTS TO ACT
QUICKLY TO DISTRIBUTE THE MORE
THAN $3 BILLION FEDERAL COMING
TO WISCONSIN SAYING HE WANTS TO
GET THE MONEY OUT THE DOOR AS
FAST AS POSSIBLE.
>> TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUES THAT
ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF THE
PANDEMIC AND THAT'S GETTING IT
OUT TO SMALL BUSINESSES, PEOPLE
IN THE CHILD CARE INDUSTRY,
TOURISM INDUSTRY, AND OBVIOUSLY
TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR PUBLIC
HEALTH SYSTEM IS WORKING
APPROPRIATELY.
OUR GOAL IS TO GET IT OUT THE
DOOR AND GET IT OUT THE DOOR,
FRANKLY, IN THE SAME WAY WE HAVE
IN THE PAST.
THERE'S MANY, MANY PEOPLE IN THE
STATE OF WISCONSIN THAT HAVE
NEEDS AND WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE MEET THOSE NEEDS.
AND SO THERE WILL BE NO SHORTAGE
OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO HELP
OUT THE PEOPLE OF WISCONSIN
AFTER THAT MONEY COMES IN THE
DOOR.
OF COURSE, WE ALWAYS HAVE TO
WAIT FOR THE REGULATIONS AND I
KNOW THAT THAT WILL TAKE A
LITTLE BIT OF TIME.
BUT ONCE WE GET IT, WE'LL BE IN
A POSITION TO SERVE THE PEOPLE
OF WISCONSIN, ESPECIALLY THOSE
WHO HAVE SUFFERED THE MOST IN
THIS PANDEMIC.
>> IT HAS BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE
GOVERNOR TONY EVERS DECLARED THE
FIRST PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY
BECAUSE OF THE COVID-19
PANDEMIC.
THIS WEEK, HE RECOGNIZED THE
TOLL AND TRAGEDY OF LOSING MORE
THAN 6500 PEOPLE IN WISCONSIN TO
THE OUTBREAK.
AND HE THANKED THE WORK OF SO
MANY ON THE FRONTLINES.
