MADISON – On Monday, State Senator Alberta Darling (R-River Hills) issued the following statement regarding a Senate Committee’s unanimous approval of an extension for unemployment benefits:
“As a co-author of the bill to extend unemployment benefit insurance, I’m very pleased this bill is on the fast track. The legislation was crafted based on recommendations from both employer and union representatives. Up to 40,000 unemployed workers in Wisconsin will get the help they need while they continue to look for work. I expect this measure to be sent to Governor Walker as soon as possible.”
Senator Darling represents portions of Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington and Waukesha Counties.
