Amilinda restaurant in downtown Milwaukee was only open for takeout this past spring because of the coronavirus.

Democratic Gov. Tony Evers says he’ll introduce a coronavirus relief package for Wisconsin this week, amid soaring numbers of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations.  He announced his intention after he delivered a statewide address, urging Wisconsinites to voluntarily shelter-in-place but stopped short of issuing another emergency stay-at-home order. 

In this week’s Capitol Notes conversation, WUWM’s Marti Mikkelson asked JR Ross, of wispolitics.com, what he thinks the governor’s relief package will look like. 

Marti was a reporter with WUWM from 1999 to 2021.
