Working for you!

Evers is Keeping Your Money

Once again the governor failed to take the opportunity to work across the partisan divide when he vetoed the middle class tax cut bill adopted by the legislature. When the state collects more taxes than necessary to operate the government, it’s our responsibility to cut taxes. Instead of staying in the pockets of hard working Wisconsinites, these funds will now collect dust in the state coffers—all because the governor refuses to keep his campaign promise of cutting middle class taxes. 

Thank You Mayor Hanna

On Monday, Senator Jacque, Senator Roth, Rep. Stuck, Rep. Tusler and I presented outgoing Appleton Mayor Tim Hanna with a legislative citation in recognition for his 24 years of public service. Thank you, Mayor Hanna, for your commitment to our community.

Greenville Field of Dreams Input Requested

The Town of Greenville purchased approximately 75+ acres of property in 2004 for the purposes of developing a large park sports complex, dubbed the Greenville "Field of Dreams." In 2018 the Town adopted a revised Master Plan for developing the site.

Now, the Town of Greenville is interested in identifying which planned amenities should be prioritized for an initial phase of development. Take this quick poll to help give feedback to the Field of Dreams Steering Committee on what amenities should be included in the Master Plan.
