GOVERNOR'S BUDGET ADDRESS
This year in the legislative session is a "budget year." During this time, Governor Walker proposes his state budget in the early months of the year and the Legislature then combs through it, revises it, brings it to the people, and hopefully passes it usually sometime in May or June.
Next week on Tuesday, February 3rd, the Governor will give his Budget Address to the Senate and the Assembly at 7:00pm. This will be the first time a majority of this year's budget will be unveiled and discussed.
I encourage everyone to watch this address and contact me with any thoughts, concerns, or ideas you may have on the proposals. We will have a big job to do over the next few months, and the process is made much easier when our constituents get involved. Please know my door is always open to meet or talk with you on any subject you find important.
CONTACT ME
As in the past, I would continue to encourage you to contact my office with ideas for this next legislative session and on individual pieces of legislation. Now more than ever your ideas and opinions need to be heard, so we can begin to get Wisconsin back to work. Please contact my office at 608-266-3404 or email me at Rep.Ripp@legis.wisconsin.gov, or stop by my Capitol office at 223 North. I look forward to hearing from you. As always, I will continue to work across the aisle to find common ground and move legislation forward.
Please share this update with your friends and neighbors within the 42nd Assembly District and if there is anyone you know who would like to be included, please respond to this email with their email address.
