20% of Wisconsin's Prison Assaults Happen at GBCI

Click the picture above to watch my interview regarding the recent report highlighting the number of assaults to staff at GBCI.  In the past few years there have been a rising number of assaults on correctional officers. This report reveals that staff at GBCI are among the most assaulted by inmates in the entire state. The need for a modernized facility with proper design and safety features is critical. I am continuing to work on my proposal to decommission GBCI and build a new facility which will address the overwhelming capacity, cost, and safety concerns that plague this 119-year-old facility.

Thank YOU!

Last week the Assembly Ways and Means Committee held a public hearing on AB 386 and AB 387, commonly referred to as the Dark Store legislation, which was authored by my colleague Rep. Rob Brooks. The bases of both bills is to make sure that every business is paying their fair share in taxes, and to ensure that small businesses are not disproportionately overburdened by taxes. AB 386 and 387 focus on three approaches for property assessments based on sales comparison, income, and cost approach. This is truly a matter of ensuring taxation fairness and I am proud to have co-sponsored each of these bills. A big thank you to our local leaders from the Village of Howard for taking the time to come down to Madison and testify in favor of these bills!
