WISCONSIN (WTAQ-WRN) — There’s more information about an ailing former Wisconsin governor.
During a Monday stop in Eau Claire, Governor Tony Evers passed along news about former governor Tony Earl being “seriously ill.” More details on the former governor’s illness were provided Tuesday by Earl’s oldest daughter, who said he suffered a stroke and is now receiving palliative care.
The 86-year-old Earl served one term as the state’s governor from 1983 to 1987, and was defeated in a re-election effort by Tommy Thompson. Earl also served in the Wisconsin State Assembly, and as the head of the state’s Department of Natural Resources.
