Constructing a Solid Budget |
The U.S. 10 / WIS 441 bridge project is
vital to the Fox Valley and I want to thank Governor Walker for
keeping it on schedule and funded. Tough decisions still need to
be made and right now the legislature is doing its duty by
vetting those decisions. At the end of the day, we’re going to
come together and pass the best budget for Wisconsin.
Thursday morning, Governor Walker, Senator Roth, and I held a
press conference about this project in Neenah. You can

Keeping College Affordable |
Yesterday, the Joint Finance Committee
approved two measures I support to control college costs for UW
System students: a two-year extension of the tuition freeze and
a freeze on other fees until clear and consistent fee assessment
policies are adopted. Both initiatives go a long way in making
college affordable for Wisconsin students and families.
On April 29th I met with student leaders from campuses across Wisconsin at
UW–Fox Valley.

Still Learning from Tommy's
Leadership |
Monday, we announced
the creation and funding of the Tommy G. Thompson Center on
Public Leadership at UW–Madison. The center will draw on
Governor Thompson’s legacy and the individuals he mentored to
advance effective public leadership research, teaching,
outreach, and policy reform. A large component of the center’s
funding and mission is dedicated to activities outside of
Madison and I’m looking forward to seeing the tremendous work
they will do.

Thompson Center on Public Leadership here:

Welcome!
I live in Greenville, but have an
office at the State Capitol in Madison. If you are in
downtown Madison, please feel free to stop by and say
hello! Just go to the information desk in the rotunda,
and they can direct you on how to find my office, 318
North. At the bottom of each e-update, you'll see my
office contact information.
If your school or group plans to tour the Capitol
building, please let me know in advance. I'd
love to visit with you for a few minutes and take a
group photo.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve you.
