Law Enforcement Package

I joined several of my Assembly colleagues in a press conference to announce a bill package that will work to address the law enforcement shortage.

My bill, LRB 5421/1, would provide grants to support part-time law enforcement officers and their departments. This bill helps to address a significant barrier for small departments (smaller than 25 officers) needing to fill part-time law enforcement positions. For smaller departments, the costs of onboarding and outfitting an officer can be significant, especially if they will only be serving part-time.

Testimony on AB 743

This week, I testified on my bill, AB 743, in the Assembly Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee. I introduced AB 743 to try to combat organized retail crime that is running rampant across the country. Online marketplaces, such as Amazon, need to have some responsibility for the sellers that are using their platform.

This bill would establish different requirements related to third-party sellers and online marketplaces through which they sell consumer products. This legislation would require online marketplaces, such as Amazon, verify that their high-volume third party sellers are legitimate businesses.

Tour of Chula Vista Resort

I'm incredibly thankful to Mike, Jeff, Krissy and the staff at Chula Vista Resort for inviting me to check out their operations and renovations. Krissy and I had a long conversation on the issues of supply chain and workforce, while also diving into the uniqueness of the Wisconsin Dells economy and the hard work that the businesses (both owners and employees) have had to provide in order to make it through the pandemic. Keep up the great work!
