Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers has signed an executive order creating a task force on student debt.
Evers, along with state Department of Financial Institutions Secretary Kathy Blumenfeld, who will chair the task force, announced Wednesday that the task force will assess the causes of student debt, provide long-term strategies to reduce education-related debt, find ways to prevent abusive practices by loan companies and improve loan education.
Evers mentioned the creation of the task force during his second State of the State address last week.
