As the Fiscal Bureau memo outlines, Wisconsin would receive the higher federal matching rate by extending coverage, resulting in a reduction in state costs and ongoing savings that would exceed the cost of extending coverage.

Este lanzamiento coincide con el inicio del Mes de la Herencia Hispana, que se celebra del 15 de septiembre al 15 de octubre. El nuevo sitio proporcionará información valiosa y la oportunidad de comunicarse directamente con los miembros del caucus (comité político) demócrata.

A newly released legal memo prepared by the nonpartisan Wisconsin Legislative Council, which provides legal and policy analysis and advice to members of the Wisconsin State Legislature, confirms that, in fact, Republicans can release millions of funds at any time—Republican lawmakers are just choosing not to.

Today we witnessed the last gasps of a desperate Republican caucus. More interested in ducking responsibility for a do-nothing session than doing any good on their last day, Senate Republicans fled the scene and left critical work undone.

The State Senate should not be a roadblock to progress in Wisconsin. Together, we could have pushed important proposals across the finish line, effecting positive change in Wisconsin and making our state safer, stronger, and more prosperous for all who reside here.

“The hard work these veterans put into the Memorial has attracted some high-profile visitors in recent
months,” said Hesselbein. “We’re especially proud to have the Governor come here to literally put this
incredible tribute to Mount Horeb’s veterans on the map.”

I am proud that Governor Evers vetoed this legislation and vows to veto any proposal that
harms LGBTQ+ youth in Wisconsin. Rather than address the real issues facing Wisconsinites,
Republicans instead chose to wage a culture war against an already marginalized group of
children.

In a move the legislators noted should be straightforward and common sense, Sen. Dianne Hesselbein (D-Middleton) and Rep. Kalan Haywood (D-Milwaukee) today circulated legislation that would bar fake electors who actively sought to disenfranchise Wisconsin voters from serving in an official role regulating elections, notably the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

The idea for this legislation was brought to me in 2020 by a constituent who is also a veteran and works with service members enrolling in secondary education. I am proud to be a part of this common-sense, bipartisan proposal to improve college accessibility for members of the Wisconsin National Guard.

Yesterday, Senate Republicans presumably adjourned for the year, despite numerous session days remaining until April 11. Not only did Republicans end their legislative work weeks early, but they adjourned without finishing the business on the calendar.
