MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today slammed the Trump Administration in a statement regarding a new multi-state lawsuit suing President Trump and the Trump Administration for illegally firing thousands of federal workers, including nearly 6,000 veterans—reportedly more than any U.S. president in American history. Gov. Evers this week blasted President Trump and the Trump Administration for their continued attacks on veterans after new reports indicated the administration plans to cut as many as 80,000 jobs at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs—a move that is likely to impact veterans’ care and services across the country.

MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today appointed Phil Grassmann as Rusk County Sheriff. The appointment fills a vacancy being created by Sheriff Jeffery Wallace’s retirement. Grassmann will complete the remainder of the unexpired term that ends January 2027.
