Governor Evers Stops at Weston YMCA

Thursday, August 3rd, 2023 -- 9:00 AM

(Thomas Schumacher, WSAU) Governor Tony Evers stopped by central Wisconsin on Wednesday afternoon to tour the Weston YMCA.

According to Thomas Schumacher with WSAU, he spoke about the importance of ensuring that childcare centers get the funding and support that they need. "These childcare places are absolutely connected directly with our economy and, if these folks fail, we're going to start seeing other problems."

When asked about his biggest takeaways from yesterday, Evers stated that maintaining the quality of the centers and schools remains a top priority of his. "They're high quality and they will not be able to continue to be high quality if they're losing staff, if they don't have the equipment, if they're losing resources."

A recent Marquette Law Poll found that 66% of respondents are satisfied with the public schools/public childcare facilities in their community, while just 31% were dissatisfied.
