WisConnect Launches to Link
Employers with Students |
Tuesday saw the launch of WisConnect, a
free, 24-hour online resource at
www.InternshipWisconsin.com that matches employers seeking
interns with college students seeking opportunities to apply
classroom knowledge and build professional networks in
Wisconsin.
WisConnect is made possible through 2015
Wisconsin Act 283, which Governor Walker signed as part of our
college affordability package. The package included legislation
authored by state Senator Howard Marklein and me to fund
positions to increase the amount of internship opportunities
available in Wisconsin and increase the amount of college
students participating in internships with Wisconsin companies.

Foxconn Eyes Wisconsin |
The business climate in Wisconsin has
improved so dramatically that large manufacturers like Foxconn
are looking to move to our state, potentially creating thousands
of jobs. Our hard work to attract new businesses and jobs is
getting noticed. Building a $7 billion facility, like the one
Foxconn is considering, would create thousands of construction
jobs and result in long term jobs for engineers and everyone
related to the new supply chain. This is just one opportunity
that our common sense reforms have made possible.

Paving the Way to Good Roads |
I joined Hortonville area community leaders Thursday night to
look at and discuss the Highway 15 bypass. This important project
is
between Greenville and New London. This project is strongly
supported by our local governments and is getting the same
attention and hard work I've been putting into the other
projects.
When it comes to transportation, nothing is
more important to me than safety, and I’ve made specific
recommendations to the Department of Transportation to address
the significant traffic safety concerns on I-41 between Highway
15 and 441 North. The safety hazards and the congestion through
this stretch requires an upgrade to six lanes, in order to
alleviate these issues through the whole section. |
Catfish Days |
Our annual Greenville Catfish Days was a huge success!
|
Sovereign State Days |
Today marks the fiftieth anniversary of Winneconne's
secession from Wisconsin after being left off of the official
state road map. I'll be in the parade on Saturday down
Main Street at 10:30 a.m. For more information about all the
events surrounding the celebration click on the flag below:
Check out other upcoming events near us by
visiting the
Wisconsin
Tourism website, and if you run into me while you’re out and
about be sure to stop and say hi!

Welcome!
I live in Greenville, but have an
office at the State Capitol in Madison. If you are in
downtown Madison, please feel free to stop by and say
hello! Just go to the information desk in the rotunda,
and they can direct you on how to find my office, 318
North. At the bottom of each e-update, you'll see my
office contact information.
If your school or group plans to tour the Capitol
building, please let me know in advance. I'd
love to visit with you for a few minutes and take a
group photo.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve you.
