Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers is delivering his budget address

Published | Video Starts at 27:39

So my pro kid budget makes the largest investment in Wisconsin kids in any budget by any governor in state's history. During my first term, I fought to secure the first special education aid increase in over a decade and the largest increase in funding for special education ever in state's history. Tonight I'm proposing the highest ever amount of state education aid funding and we're going to guarantee the state reimburses special education costs at 60% to ensure every kid gets the public education they deserve. (27:39–27:49)
