  In the District

I recently joined friends, neighbors, volunteers and staff from Neighborhood House of Milwaukee in the district to dedicate the new Richardson Place Community Garden Park located in the Historic Concordia Neighborhood.

Employment Resource

The Department of Workforce Development (DWD) has a Skill Explorer website that provides a free job search tool allowing Wisconsin workers to search for employment opportunities that match their existing skills and training. Skill Explorer can be found by clicking here.

Workers can search for career opportunities on the Skill Explorer website by typing in their former or current job title. Skill Explorer provides a list of current openings relating to the work experience of that job through openings on Job Center of Wisconsin. Skill Explorer provides overviews explaining what each specific job entails, how much workers typically make in that position, and any special training or background needed for the occupation. Skill Explorer’s mapping function will show hot spots in the state for particular occupations, as well as allow individuals to search for current openings by county.

2013-2014 Blue Books

Each legislative session, the State of Wisconsin prints Blue Books and allocates a number of them to legislators to distribute to constituents back home. Blue Books are a wonderful resource to learn about and understand State Government. I still have a number of Blue Books available. If you would like one, please contact me and I can drop it off in person or mail it to you directly.

Friends and Neighbors,

I hope this brief e-newsletter finds you and your family well and that you are enjoying spring!

As you know, the debate in the State Legislature's Joint Finance Committee on Governor Walker's proposed 2015-2017 biennial budget continues. I continue to hear from many members of our community who are concerned about various provisions in the budget and requesting an update on action taken thus far. As the new Chairman of the Milwaukee Democratic Legislative Delegation I have worked with my colleagues to bring together a forum to provide you with an update on the state budget debate and what is on the horizon. I will be hosting a budget update and listening session in Milwaukee this Saturday, May 9th, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Loos Room of the Milwaukee Public Library's Centennial Hall.

I am writing to invite you to this budget update and listening session. I highly encourage you to attend to register your thoughts on the budget proposal or share your thoughts with Milwaukee legislators. This is an opportunity to learn about our state budget and for your voice to be heard! I will be there and hope to see you there as well.

I have included more information about the event below. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office at (608) 266-0645.

I welcome any feedback or ideas you may have. As always, please let me know if I can be of any assistance to you.
