Gov. Tony Evers has ordered flags in Wisconsin be flown at half-staff on Friday, Feb. 16, the date when funeral services for former State Sen. Joseph Leean (R-Waupaca), an Iola native, are observed.

The flag is to fly half-staff from sunrise till sunset.

“Between his many professional ventures and nearly two decades of dedicated service to the people of Wisconsin, Senator Leean was a true public servant who made countless contributions to our state,” said Gov. Evers. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the Leean family and all of Senator Leean’s colleagues, friends, and neighbors, and we wish them peace as they mourn his loss.”
