MADISON, Wis. (WKBT) — Gov. Tony Evers has granted pardons to 37 people, including a La Crosse man, he announced Wednesday, after the Governor’s Pardon Advisory Board heard from applicants virtually.
“From mistakes made as teenagers to desperate times as they struggled with homelessness or substance misuse, what we have seen overwhelmingly from applicants is a desire to move forward, give back, and make peace with their pasts,” said Evers. “I am glad to pardon these 37 individuals and continue the good work of the Pardon Advisory Board to give folks second chances.”
