Rep. Tittl attends Press Conference on Re-Opening Wisconsin

Hello,
This morning I joined my colleagues in Appleton to advocate for a regional approach to re-opening Wisconsin. We stood side by side with small business owners from Northeastern Wisconsin who have have been adversely affected by Governor Tony Evers' shutdown.
Many areas of Wisconsin have not been as greatly affected by the virus as others, which is why we have concerns with the governor's 'one-size-fits-all' approach. Together, we support a more localized, regional plan much like what states around the country are already putting into effect.
Wisconsin's economy has been devastatingly effected. More
than half a million people have filed for unemployment since the start of the pandemic. The state is already seeing a significant decline in state tax collections. A recent study estimates the
partial shutdown has cost the state $178.9 million in lost GDP every day.

Many of you who have been hurt financially by the shutdown have reached out to me in recent weeks. I want to let you know that I hear your concerns. When I hold discussions with my colleagues about how to properly respond to this crisis, you and your concerns are there with me.
As always, if you would like to contact my office and share with me your thoughts or questions, my office toll-free number is (888) 529-0025 and my email is Rep.Tittl@legis.wisconsin.gov.
