Democratic Gov.-elect Tony Evers and Lt. Gov.-elect Mandela Barnes held the final listening session in Milwaukee on Wednesday for what they are calling the people’s budget.

At least 100 people showed up for the listening session and were divided into groups that focused on criminal justice reform, health care and economic development among other things.

WUWM’s LaToya Dennis attended the session and spoke with Wisconsin Education Association Council Ron Martin and MPS teacher Sequanna Taylor along with plumber Micah McArthur and Entrepreneur Lavelle Young about what they’d like to see in the upcoming budget: 

LaToya was a reporter with WUWM from 2006 to 2021.
