MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Gov. Tony Evers' executive budget will allow people in the country illegally to obtain driver's licenses and identification cards.
Evers is due to release the budget with a speech at the state Capitol on Thursday evening. His office released excerpts of the speech to reporters Thursday morning.
The excerpts include two paragraphs in which Evers introduces someone named Tony from Wausau. The governor says Tony attended one of his budget listening sessions and talked about how people in the country illegally need driver's licenses, especially in communities with little public transportation. The excerpts don't include Tony's last name or any other information about him.
Evers goes on to say that the budget will make people in the country illegally eligible for driver's license and ID cards. He says the move will make Wisconsin roads and communities safer and strengthen the state's economy and families.
Evers campaigned on making driver's licenses and ID cards available to people living in the country illegally.
