WISCONSIN (WTAQ-WRN) — Governor Tony Evers will propose investments in veterans’ health in his state budget.
The Democratic governor on Thursday released a summary of proposals for veterans in the state.
Those include an additional $1 million in annual funding for veterans services offices, $500,000 in new funding for the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs to evaluate the needs of those who’ve served multiple deployments since 9/11, nearly $3 million to help UW System campuses provide services for veterans and military personnel, and $250,000 to help provide service dogs for veterans suffering from PTSD.
Evers will deliver his biennial budget message next Wednesday at the Capitol, after which the Legislature’s budget committee will begin its work.
