Governor Tony Evers’ administration reverses course on a budget item veto. The Evers Administration announced it’s moving ahead on a wetland project through the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources with the help of Ducks Unlimited, on the North Branch of the Manitowoc River in Calumet County. Evers had previously vetoed a $70,000 earmark in the state budget for the work. State Senator André Jacque, who represents the area, said in a statement that the reversal was due to “tireless pressure Brillion residents put on the DNR.” Jacque said the veto was done for partisan reasons and accused Evers of needing to save face. The DNR said the administration rejected a last-minute effort by the Legislature that would have changed the project’s funding source, opting instead to use existing state resources the administration had already spent months planning to use.
