In case you missed it, ahead of
Tony Evers’ final State of the State today, Republican Party of
Wisconsin Chairman Paul Farrow penned an op-ed
in Wisconsin Right Now highlighting Evers’ long list of
failures.
Read some excerpts
below:
As Wisconsin has dealt with two
years of historic challenges, Tony Evers has been asleep at the wheel.
He has refused to provide real leadership while leaving the work of
governing to liberal staff and political operatives in his
administration, and on every issue that matters, Evers has chosen to
serve the interests of the far-left – not working-class
Wisconsinites.
No one has had a stronger
influence over Wisconsin’s education system in recent decades than
self-proclaimed “education governor” Tony Evers – yet the state of our
education system has reached a crisis. Despite over $5 billion in
federal and state support added to Wisconsin’s education system in
recent years, according to DPI’s own data, English language arts
proficiency is down by over 16 percent, math proficiency is down by
over 20 percent, and just 8 percent of Black students are proficient
in math.
[...]
Meanwhile, crime is rising
across Wisconsin, and Tony Evers has failed to provide real solutions
to keep the public safe. In October, Evers designated federal dollars
(i.e. his taxpayer-funded re-election slush fund) towards some vague
“violence prevention” effort. He announced it at a press conference
that was interrupted by gunfire! And yet as of January 2022, none of
that money had actually been spent.
[...]
Small business owners and
employees paid the price of Evers’ costly lockdowns that shuttered
Main Street businesses for nearly two months. Now, after declaring
over the summer that the outcry from small business owners didn’t
constitute enough “proof” to act, Evers is standing idly by as
national Democrats push vaccine mandates and other policies that are
exacerbating labor shortages in Wisconsin and
nationwide.
Republicans are working to ensure that Wisconsinites know the truth
ahead of Tony Evers’ attempt to rewrite history tonight.
