Rep. Hutton’s Statement on Passage of “Mining for Jobs” Bill
[Madison, Wis.] - Rep. Hutton released the following
statement regarding the passage of the “Mining for Jobs”
bill.
“Today, I voted in favor of SB 1 along with the Assembly
Republicans, to update Wisconsin’s mining laws making them
applicable to the 21st century. We have paved a path for
thousands of jobs in Wisconsin while still upholding
Wisconsin’s strict environmental standards.
“We now have the potential to help an area that is in
desperate need of employment opportunities. The economic
booster shot to this region would create many direct jobs in
construction and mining along with jobs in the service and
health care industry. This legislation will reach all the
way to the south eastern part of the state where
manufacturing and transportation companies will see a higher
demand for their products and services.
“I am eager to watch Wisconsin continue to move forward as
this mining legislation provides a safe and responsible way
to create jobs.”
The Wisconsin State Assembly passed the “Mining for Jobs”
bill, first introduced in the 2013-2014 legislative session,
by a vote of 58-39 in the first week of March and on Monday,
March 11, 2013; Governor Walker signed the bill into law.
This legislation will update Wisconsin’s mining regulations
and will provide businesses with the confidence to invest in
Wisconsin while also upholding environmental protections.
This bill will deliver long-term benefits to the mining
counties and could impact the entire state.

Elmbrook Middle School Excellence in the Arts
I want to make a special mention of the Elmbrook Middle
Schools for showcasing their impressive music skills and
talent this past February with two remarkable musicals.
Wisconsin Hills Middle School presented Bye Bye Birdie
followed by the Pilgrim Park Middle School’s production of
The Little Mermaid, Jr. Both shows were considered
outstanding successes by the audience members and the
student participants.
