MADISON Gov.
Tony Evers today delivered his 2021 State of the State address. As previously announced, the address was held virtually this year and is available to watch on the governor’s Facebook here and YouTube channel here.
Below are Gov. Evers’ remarks as prepared for delivery:
Good evening, Wisconsinites.
Welcome, and thank you for tuning in this evening.
I’m Tony Evers, and I’m incredibly proud to be the 46th governor of the great state of Wisconsin and to deliver my 2021 State of the State Address to you tonight.
The Wisconsin Constitution requires that each year the governor communicate the condition of our state. Now, tonight is probably the first time in our state’s history a governor has delivered a state of the state address virtually and without a live audience. That means there’s good news and bad news: the bad news is there won’t be any applause or boos here tonight, but the good news is that means tonight’s speech will take a heckuva lot
In the State of State address, Gov. Tony Evers talked about strengthening rural broadband and upgrading the state s unemployment system. Here is the full text from his speech from Jan.
