Gov. Tony Evers said President Donald Trump’s budget proposals could hurt protections for natural resources, infrastructure improvements and critical disaster response in Wisconsin.
Evers sent another letter to each member of Wisconsin’s Congressional delegation, urging bipartisan opposition to provisions in Trump’s proposed Federal Fiscal Year 2027 budget.
He writes that the budget would have a negative effect on Wisconsin. The new budget is set to be finalized on Oct. 1.
“For over a year, the Trump Administration has repeatedly tried to thwart our efforts here in Wisconsin and across the nation to ensure clean water for our residents, protect valuable natural resources, invest in needed infrastructure across the state and ensure families, neighbors and communities can appropriately respond to emergencies,” Evers said in a statement.
“While we’ve fought these efforts with every tool and power that we have here in Wisconsin, the president’s budget further entrenches federal efforts to cut and gut critical programs that keep our state safe, healthy and prepared for the future. I’m calling on Congress to reject these disastrous budget proposals and be the champions Wisconsin needs who will fight for our families and communities.”
