It's Your Money

Hello,

      When the government collects too much in taxes, a surplus is generated. Republicans in the Legislature want to more closely align our taxation with our expenditures, which is why we proposed and passed the Middle Class Tax Cut bill in both the Assembly and the Senate this week. The tax cut is in addition to the more than $8 billion in tax reductions enacted since 2011.

      You work hard for your money, and I want to be a responsible steward of your tax dollars while I represent you in Madison. That is why I voted in favor of the bill and hope it will be signed into law soon. The best part of the deal is we are not only giving back money we don't need, but we are also protecting Wisconsin agriculture and manufacturing. To see my statement on the bill passing the Assembly, click here.

      As always, if there is anything I can do to assist you, please contact me. You can share your thoughts, find out additional information on issues, or see where I stand on any legislation. I look forward to hearing from you and, as always, working for you. 

 

Sincerely, 

Signature 200.jpg

25th Assembly District Grant Recipients 

    As a result of 2017 Wisconsin Act 261, 48 counties will benefit from drug trafficking response grants administered by the Department of Justice. Recipients include the Calumet County's Sheriff's Office (receiving $25,794), and the Manitowoc County Metro Drug Unit, which includes the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Office and the Manitowoc Police Department (receiving $50,000). 

    The legislation provides $1 million for distribution across the state so law enforcement agencies can investigate and respond to drug trafficking in their community. I am excited to see all the good that will come from these grants across the 25th Assembly District! To view the full press release, click here.
