Welcome to Rep. Krug’s E-Update
State Representative
Scott Krug wants to go on record stating that SeniorCare is not going
anywhere. There was a need for it in 2001 when the Republicans in the
Assembly brought forth the program and there is a stronger need today.
“Third Party groups
are scaring seniors in our area by stating that Republicans are going to
eliminate SeniorCare,” said Krug. “We have no intention of cutting this
program.”
Governor Walker’s
initial Budget proposal is asking seniors enrolled in SeniorCare to also
enroll for Medicare Part D to help shift some of the cost of this
program to federal dollars.
“This is an
initial proposal, we have heard from many seniors from the area and
will do everything to make sure low income seniors are not affected
negatively,” said Krug.
Krug urges
constituents to contact their legislature for information about the
budget, please don’t rely on third party information.
Adams County
After walking the areas
of Adams County hit the hardest by the tornado last week, Representative
Krug felt the need to reach out to the State.
“I talked to many
residents affected by this latest storm and they need our help,” Krug said.
“Everyone is thankful that no one was hurt but the damage is going to take a
long time to clean up.”
We are working with many
state agencies to bring help to residents; whether it is monetary help for
those who may not be insured or having funds available to County Directors
through the Wisconsin Disaster Fund.
Adams County Emergency
Management estimates the damage is over 3 million dollars in the private
sector and over $900,000.00 in the public sector. These estimates have been
sent to the Governor’s office.
To receive updated
information, please visit the Adams County website at
www.co.adams.wi.gov or call (608) 339-4248.
Representative Krug will
be in Adams County next week to help with the clean up. If anyone would
like to volunteer their time next week to go to Adams County and help,
please call me at 715 459 2267
Those interested in
making a monetary donation to the tornado victims of the April 10, 2011
Disaster should send a check to the Grand Marsh State Bank at P.O. Box 10,
Adams, WI 53910. The check must be made payable to the Adams County April
2011 Tornado Relief Fund
The Hunt for Unclaimed Property
Throughout
the next couple of months our office will be sending out letters to
constituents that may have some unclaimed property.
Instructions will be included in the letter as to how to recover
your property.
Annual printing of the unclaimed property
list is underway. The State Treasurer is required to
print the new names every year in the paper with the most circulation for
each of Wisconsin‟s 72 counties.
Even though you can look for
unclaimed property 24 hours a day, 7 days a week online at the State
Treasury web-site, people love looking for not only their own names but those
of their friends and neighbors. We like to tell people to look for their own
names at least once or twice a year online since we get new names from
holders periodically... you never know when your name might appear.
Forgetting about money may seem ludicrous,
but it can happen to anyone. On April 11, we re-turned $461,479 in just one
day!
