UW System by the Numbers
As a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), numbers paint detailed
and thorough pictures for me. While others analyze state
agencies by anecdotal evidence, I turn to numbers to seek a
deeper understanding of their programs, processes and financial
health. For more information and to connect with me, visit my website
http://legis.wisconsin.gov/senate/17/marklein and subscribe
to my weekly E-Update by sending an email to
Sen.Marklein@legis.wisconsin.gov.
Do not hesitate to call 800-978-8008 if you have input, ideas or
need assistance with any state-related matters. |

In The 17th Senate District
Sen. Howard Marklein was honored to join Janet Hottenstein, Deputy Ric Hottenstein, Garrett Hottenstein, Rep. Travis Tranel (R-Cuba City) and Grant County Sheriff Nate Dreckman to commend and recognize the service of K9 Diego who passed away unexpectedly earlier this month.
Diego
was deployed 1,094 times in the past six years and successfully
assisted with 355 arrests and 17 apprehensions, demonstrating
the tremendous value of a K9 unit in the fight against drugs in
Grant County. Diego was dedicated to serving the citizens, excited to come to work every day and worked hard to get drugs off of the streets to protect the people of Grant County.
He will be greatly missed by all members of the Grant County Sheriff’s Department, but especially his handler Deputy Ric Hottenstein, his wife Janet and their son Garrett who considered Diego a part of their family. In fact, Diego's service made such an impression on Garrett that he is now serving in the United States Army as a handler for bomb-detecting dogs. Thanks to the entire Hottenstein family for their service to the people of our community.

Admission to the program is highly competitive and is limited to 33 academically exceptional high school juniors and seniors from around Wisconsin. Each Senate Scholar receives a hands-on, up-close view of the Legislature’s role in our democracy.
Sen. Howard Marklein met with Southwestern Wisconsin Technical College students from the 17th Senate District on Tuesday, February 16, 2016 during Student Government Day in the State Capitol. It was great to hear their stories and learn about the academic goals they are pursuing and reaching at our local college.
