Honored to attend the funeral of Lake Mills Fire Captain Chris Truman who died serving others on 12/31/2018. #RIP
Ordered flags to half-staff on Sunday, January 6, 2019, as a mark of respect for Captain Christopher Truman of the Lake Mills Fire Department.
Today, I ordered flags to half-staff in honor of former state senator Walter John Chilsen. He was a WWII veteran, Purple Heart recipient, and an outstanding lifelong public servant. He will be missed.
Tonette, Matt, Alex and I are grateful for the opportunity to celebrate the birth of Christ with the people of Wisconsin. We are counting our many blessings and looking forward to the new year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all servicemen and women serving overseas and their families. We are grateful for your sacrifices and appreciate all you do to keep our nation safe.
$588.5 million surplus! For the 8th year in a row, Wisconsin has ended the fiscal year with a surplus!
We are leaving Wisconsin in the best financial condition in a generation. This is part of our legacy and it will continue to drive Wisconsin forward.
Wisconsin’s unemployment rate has been at or below 3% for 10 straight months! We also added nearly 10,000 Private-Sector Jobs in November, bringing the total jobs created since we’ve taken office to over 250,000.
Great news! -> “Wisconsin’s tax burden—defined as state and local taxes as a share of income—fell in 2018 to its lowest level in nearly 50 years.” wispolicyforum.org/research/…
Unlike the bills I signed today, this one did fundamentally shift power from one branch to another when things had grown out of balance: archive.jsonline.com/news/mi…
These bills increase transparency, accountability, stability, and protect the taxpayers of Wisconsin.
Signed Senate Bills 883, 884, & 886 into law in Green Bay. Despite all the hype and hysteria out there, these bills do nothing to fundamentally diminish executive authority. The bottom line is the new gov. will cont. to be one of the most powerful chief executives in the country.
