With Gov. Tony Evers’ first state budget completed, it’s time to look back on some of his budget-related promises.
This is what we use to track promises Democratic Gov. Tony Evers made. Similar to our Truth-O-Meter, we’ll assign a rating based on the status of the promise: In the Works, Stalled, Compromise, Promise Kept or Promise Broken. (We did the same for Gov. Scott Walker's promises.)
Here is a look at how some of his major promises fared:
— Restore state funding for schools to two-thirds level in 2019-21 budget
— Accept federal Medicaid expansion money
