Marklein Unhappy With Evers Veto of Broadband Bill

Senator Howard Marklein of Spring Green says he’s upset over a move by Governor Tony Evers that took money from rural Wisconsin. Marklein responded to the governor’s veto of a bill to improve the Rural Broadband Expansion Grant program. He says the legislation would’ve directed state funds to rural communities that don’t have service. Marklein says his bill was another step for state investments in rural broadband expansion. It was designed to target communities that don’t have any federal investments in broadband.
