The PROBLEM with
TONY EVERS
Here’s what respected news sources say about Tony Evers and his job performance:
Falsely taking credit for tax cuts:
“Evers had virtually nothing to do with the reduction in income taxes for Wisconsinites. Evers merely signed the budget crafted by legislative Republicans.”
Murders skyrocketing on Evers’ watch:
“It’s a rate that’s difficult for officers to keep up with and makes it harder to get those crimes solved and give justice to those families. . . There have been 52 homicides in the city since Jan. 1, 2022.”
Under Evers, police numbers dramatically drop:
“The number of law enforcement officers in the state ticked down again in 2022, setting a new record for the lowest statewide total since the Wisconsin Department of Justice started tracking the numbers in 2008.”
$1 Billion spending increase during bad economic times?
“Yes, Evers’ budget increases Wisconsin taxes by more than $1 billion … In the middle of the pandemic, Democratic Gov. Tony Evers presented his spending blueprint for 2021-22. The plan generated about the same enthusiasm from Republicans that his various actions aimed at stemming the coronavirus outbreak have.”
Despite big increases in crime, Evers removed penalties to communities that defund the police:
“There’s no other way to spin this. At a time when crime is running rampant in our state, Gov. Evers wants to defund the police…”
Evers has failed Wisconsin’s schools:
“During [Evers’] tenure, standardized test scores of Wisconsin students were abysmal. The Wisconsin Forward Exam of Educational Achievement for students grades 3 through 8 showed that 57.6% did not have grade level proficiency in Language Arts and 55.2% did not in math….This is despite a doubling of taxpayer support since 1970.”
Evers’ administration bungled food program for schools:
“The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction told WISN 12 more than 79,000 Wisconsin students in the National School Lunch program, who should be receiving food aid, aren’t getting it … and no one from the state can explain why.”

‘Beyond troubling’: Federal lawmakers from both parties call for more oversight of Wisconsin veterans home
Evers’ deadly failure to protect veterans:
“Federal lawmakers from both political parties have asked for an investigation and more oversight of the troubled state veterans home … Gov. Tony Evers, whose administration oversees the nursing home, said … ‘If you get fined, it is because you’ve done something wrong…”
Under Evers, Milwaukee has more carjackings than Chicago:
“Milwaukee, with a population about four times smaller than Chicago, is currently outpacing the Windy City for total number of car thefts in 2021…Milwaukee has already shattered its own record for car thefts in 2021, and is on pace to double last year’s total.
