Evers, The ‘People Not Prisons’ Candidate, Borrows Heavily For More Prison Beds

“The Democrat recommends nearly $259 million in bonding for seven major Department of Corrections building projects —  a six-fold increase from his predecessor, Gov. Scott Walker’s last capital budget proposal, which recommended $41.68 million in DOC capital borrowing. The brunt of the Evers recommendations, $194 million, comes in the form of General Funds Supported Borrowing, repaid with General Fund Revenue, with $65 million in Existing/Residual bonding.“
