Wisconsin Gov.-elect Tony Evers and Lt. Gov.-elect Mandela Barnes will go on a statewide budget listening tour starting this week.

The “Building the People’s Budget” tour kicks off Tuesday in Green Bay. Other stops are planned Wednesday in Wausau and Tuesday, Dec. 18, in La Crosse before the tour ends Wednesday, Dec. 19, in Milwaukee.

Each session is open to the public. Participants will be able to share their budget priorities with Evers, Barnes and transition policy staff.
