Capitol Notes: Evers, GOP Legislature Working On Aid For Wisconsin Workers And Businesses

althouse
Marti Mikkelson and JR Ross discuss the week in politics in "Capitol Notes".

It was another week of major changes in lifestyle and in the workplace because of the coronavirus. Gov. Tony Evers ordered bars and restaurants in Wisconsin to close, except for pickups and deliveries. He also directed salons, barbershops, spas and tattoo shops to shut their doors. Now, the Democratic governor and Republican leaders say they're working together on a legislative aid package to help small businesses and employees who are out of work.

In this week's Capitol Notes conversation, WUWM's Marti Mikkelson asked JR Ross of wispolitics.com what this aid package might look like.

Marti was a reporter with WUWM from 1999 to 2021.
