On June 18, the State Senate was in session. We voted to pass meaningful legislation that will have a big impact on Wisconsinites. I want to dedicate this column to highlighting some of the key bills we passed on the floor.

SB 41 - School Safety Grants – This legislation reauthorizes grants for schools to purchase infrastructure that protects students and teachers, such as reinforced doors, cameras, shatter resistant glass, and staff training. These grants will help schools upgrade their security and help create a safer learning environment for our students.

As the Republican-controlled Joint Finance Committee begins wrapping up details on the state’s two-year budget, the MacIver Institute says it’s time for legislative leadership to quit negotiating with Governor Evers and actually lead.

But part should be jettisoned, and we need to keep working toward flat tax

The best part about legislative Republicans’ proposed tax measure is that it really does cut taxes in a reasonable way for a lot of Wisconsinites, says an authoritative observer of states’ tax reforms.

The proposal, approved by the Legislature’s budget-writing Joint Finance Committee on June 12, would raise the upper limit of the personal income tax’s second-lowest bracket, meaning the tax rate on a lot of income would fall from 5.3 percent to 4.4 percent.

It has been a busy and productive time in Congress, and I wanted to take a moment to share what I’ve been working on in Washington, D.C. to deliver real results for Wisconsin’s Third District.

Slashing Wasteful Government Spending
Passage of H.R. 4 - the Rescissions Act of 2025 is a prime example of what it means to cut waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government’s spending. For too long, Americans’ hard earned tax dollars were being used to fund radical, social programs in other countries.

  • Reduced risks of poverty
  • Increased time flexibility

Northern Wisconsin Job Corps center spent $290,000 per graduate on ineffective training

A federal judge’s injunction Wednesday is blocking the Trump Administration from saving $1.7 billion annually and closing down Job Corps centers — including two in Wisconsin — that have an expensive and dismal record ostensibly training the young and disadvantaged for work.

The Milwaukee center on N. 60th St. had a 2023 budget of $9.2 million and more than 100 employees who served 224 Corps members at a cost of $40,969 for each enrollee.
