A Note from Rep. Edming
This week, I joined fellow Assembly
Republicans in support of the Red Tape Review initiative. The program
will
cut government red tape in order to improve Wisconsin's business
climate. Chapters of the state's Administrative Code will be
reviewed with the goal of removing unnecessary and obsolete regulations.
This effort, led by Rep. Joan Ballweg (R-Markesan), is a continuation of last session's Right the Rules project, which was able to review 20 percent of the Administrative Code and cut 76 pages of burdensome rules.
Wisconsin's Administrative Code is written and doesn't receive much thought thereafter. We need to take the time to ensure that code still functions properly for Wisconsinites and businesses. Rules that no longer have a purpose should be eliminated from the books. I am excited to participate in this initiative and look forward to cutting red tape in our state.
I encourage you to stay up-to-date on the Red Tape Review on Facebook and Twitter.

- Assembly Bill 14 : the regulation of raffles.

Stay Safe this Winter
Temperatures around the state will continue to drop during the upcoming week. Explore some ways to get ready for the bitter cold.
The chilly weather also means that heaters, fireplaces, and other heat sources will be working extra hard to keep us warm. Find out how to prevent carbon monoxide exposure.
