MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Governor Tony Evers is urging Congress to block the White House’s proposed cuts to disaster relief funding and clean water investments.
The Governor’s office says he sent a letter to every congressional member in the state to reject the proposed cuts in the upcoming budget. President Trump’s budget cuts FEMA grants, funding for cyber security training, funding for line replacements and other infrastructure agencies. This is the second time Evers has urged action on Trump spending plans.
Last week he warned that the One Big Beautiful Bill act would cut over $280 million in benefits and funding for Wisconsinites while kicking $270 thousand people off of health insurance.
