Chilton Middle School Visit
|
Hello,
I had another busy week in Madison! On Thursday, 8th graders from Chilton Middle School visited the capitol. They were in town for a capitol tour and got to learn more about Wisconsin politics. It is great to see children interested in the political process. Hopefully they now have a deeper understanding of how the government operates at the state level.
Thursday was a session day, as well. We debated over 30 bills, passing some exciting legislation that will help move Wisconsin forward. You can see the bills we voted on and their outcomes here.
Next week, we will be in session on Tuesday, November 7th and Thursday, November 9th. I am excited to hear more lively debate and represent you through my votes. Contact me with any thoughts you have on upcoming legislation and tune in to follow the votes.
Sincerely,
Representative Paul Tittl

On Wednesday, November 1st, Rep. Rob Brooks from the 60th Assembly District hosted a press conference and a meet-and-greet event to promote his new bill. The bill will allow Tesla to open stores in Wisconsin.
Tesla anticipates opening in multiple locations to sell to Wisconsin residents and to service vehicles. This bill is a great way to expand the free market and facilitate economic growth.
Electric vehicles are an emerging market, and this legislation allows Wisconsin to compete with our neighboring states. I was shocked to hear that Wisconsinites have to cross over to Illinois if they want to buy or service their Tesla. Let's bring the business back to Wisconsin.
Also, Shane Miller (pictured above) had the opportunity to speak at the press conference and give his testimony on owning a Tesla. Shane is from my district and shared insight on the benefits of owning a Tesla along with the challenges faced because Tesla does not operate in Wisconsin. I would like to thank Shane for giving us a first-hand understanding of the situation.

Last week, Sen. LeMahieu and I visited GreenStone Farm Credit Services. We were able to meet with staff and give them our take on legislation that may impact them.
GreenStone is one of America's largest rural lenders, with approximately 24,000 members and 36 branches throughout Michigan and northeast Wisconsin.

It was a joy to have the 8th grade students join me in the Assembly Chambers. They asked insightful questions and got a taste of what it feels like to be a Wisconsin legislator.

Last week I presented Manitowoc Fish & Game with a citation commemorating their 110th anniversary.
The organization started on October 21st, 1907 and has been dedicated to advancing safe, lawful, and fun hunting and fishing practices in Wisconsin since its inception.
Manitowoc Fish & Game has been involved in many community projects, education and outreach efforts, and land purchases that have been instrumental in expanding outdoor activities in our community.
