Evers took questions from reporters after delivering his annual "State of Education" speech in his capacity as state Superintendent of Public Instruction. During that speech, Evers said Wisconsin's priorities under Walker are "out of whack."

Shelia Stubbs, an African-American woman and a 12-year veteran of the Dane County Board of Supervisors, was knocking doors on Madison's west side when a resident called police to report her last month.
