(The Center Square) – Gov. Tony Evers is blaming the Trump Administration for a potential $29 million funding cut that Evers says will block Wisconsin from completing the process of modernizing its unemployment insurance system.

Evers wrote a letter to U.S. Department of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer on Tuesday, stating that without the funds “the state will not be able to complete its UI system modernization project, which is designed to use innovative tools to help efficiently and effectively prevent benefit fraud and abuse.”
