Milroy column: Budget priorities to get behind
I wanted to share some of the items in the governor’s biennial budget relating to veterans, seniors, the environment, our local economy and workers, and education that I am especially enthusiastic about.

Gov. Tony Evers’ 2021-2023 biennial budget bill not only contains items that would provide relief to Wisconsinites throughout the state, but it also gives Wisconsinites hope that our state has begun its recovery from the pandemic.
This budget shows that Gov. Evers and his administration are committed to making Wisconsin a better and safer place for all residents to live, work and learn. I was extremely pleased by Evers’ 2021-2023 biennial budget bill, as many of the governor’s proposals would directly help residents of Northwestern Wisconsin.

VA Gulf Coast vaccinates 10,000th Veteran
Challenging logistical accomplishment by VA staff
The Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System’s Biloxi VA Medical Center administered the organization’s 10,000th dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccination Feb. 13. The shot was given during the organization’s COVID-19 appointment-only vaccination clinic at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Mississippi.
Navy Veteran Camille Spencer received the vaccine during the day-long event, an effort Director Bryan C. Matthews said is the result of the organization’s employees, many of whom are Veterans themselves.
