As a nationwide leader in the battle against this problem, I am delighted to provide you with the following information and discuss my plan going forward. I also would welcome the opportunity to meet with any member in person to discuss this issue. Upon taking office in 2015, I made the opioid epidemic my number one priority. This should come as no surprise since in my nearly 30-year law enforcement career, I have not seen a public safety and health crisis as far reaching as the current drug epidemic. In 2016 alone, 827 Wisconsinites died from drug overdose deaths. That’s State of Wisconsin Legislature January 22, 2018 Page 3 why Wisconsin joined 40 other states in a bipartisan effort to investigate the major opioid manufacturers. In September 2017, this bipartisan multi-state investigation made public the fact that it had served investigative subpoenas, also known as Civil Investigative Demands, on the major opioid manufacturers: Endo, Janssen, Teva/Cephalon, Allergan, and Purdue Pharma. We have demanded documents and information from these companies and their related entities to determine if they engaged in unlawful practices in marketing and selling opioids. Historically, multi-state investigations like this one have led to substantial recoveries for participating states due to the states’ broad investigative authority and ability to negotiate with companies and avoid the delays and costs associated with litigation. State attorneys general have the authority to serve subpoenas and obtain documents and information without many of the procedural hurdles and discovery challenges faced in any major litigation. Needless to say, if the coalition of states determines a lawsuit is necessary, I will pursue this strategy. However, filing a lawsuit now will likely lead to delay tactics and endless litigation that could last many years. For example, in 2014, the City of Chicago filed a lawsuit against the very same manufacturers we are investigating. Today, the city’s case is stayed pending a decision as to whether the city will be consolidated as part of the growing Multidistrict Litigation. Meanwhile, the city faces mounting costs related to heroin overdoses with no end in sight. As a participant in the recent successful multi-state investigations of Volkswagen and Wells Fargo, I feel confident that the investigative route we are currently taking with the opioid manufacturers will result in better outcomes for the State of Wisconsin than we would receive if we pursued action on our own. This also is the wisest use of state resources at this point in time. Multi-state investigations allow us the ability to both prepare for litigation while pursuing the possibility of a settlement. The unified voice of more than 40 states cannot be ignored by the opioid manufacturers and I intend to bring a meaningful and prompt resolution for the citizens of our state. At DOJ, in addition to litigation, we have been using all the tools on our belt to fight this epidemic: prevention, enforcement, public awareness, and treatment. State of Wisconsin Legislature January 22, 2018 Page 4 Since April 2015, we’ve safely collected and disposed of more than 330,000 pounds of unused prescription medications, preventing their potential misuse and abuse. We’ve arrested and prosecuted countless drug dealers in all corners of our state, stopping deadly drugs from flowing into our communities. For instance, on September 18, 2017, the Division of Criminal Investigation arrested 18 individuals and seized approximately 1.5 kilos of heroin, recovered over $100,000 in cash and took 18 firearms off of the street as part of just one single case in Milwaukee. We’ve focused on public awareness and our award-winning Dose of Reality campaign to end prescription painkiller abuse in Wisconsin is a national prevention model that is now being used in Georgia, Maine, Minnesota, and Nebraska. Wisconsin DOJ administers treatment courts in 51 counties and two tribes, providing alternatives to incarceration for non-violent drug offenders and giving folks the ability to turn their lives around. And, we’re working to expand treatment by also leading a 43-state lawsuit against Indivior, a manufacturer whose alleged antitrust scheme blocks generic competitors and artificially high prices for those seeking a medication assisted treatment for people addicted to heroin and opioids. I promised to prioritize public safety over politics. While filing an individual lawsuit might serve my short term political interests, the litigation plan and additional harm reduction strategies we've employed for the last three years are in the best interest of Wisconsin and the countless victims of the state's opioid epidemic. I assure you, however, that if the time comes to litigate on behalf of our great state, I will dedicate all necessary resources to see that justice is done. Very truly yours, Brad D. Schimel Wisconsin Attorney General BDS:PWC:jpk .

  • January 7Th, 2021 DELIVERED ELECTRONICALLY Vice President
    January 7th, 2021 DELIVERED ELECTRONICALLY Vice President Pence: The events of January 6th, 2021 will be remembered as a dark day in American history. What the country, and the world, witnessed was insurrection. Rather than accepting the results of a free and fair election, extremists stormed the United States Capitol in an attempt to overturn President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’ victory. These were not the organic actions of a few extreme supporters. It was a siege orchestrated and encouraged by the president to throw chaos into our democratic institutions in a desperate attempt to cling to power. Let us be clear, as long as President Trump is in office, the future of our republic is in danger. Every leader in our nation must stand up and acknowledge that now is the hour we must draw the line in the sand and remove President Trump from office before further damage is done. We also want to acknowledge the work being done by the Democratic members of Wisconsin’s Congressional delegation in their support for our nation’s laws and the principles of our democracy. Since November, the president has promoted conspiracy theories, lied countless times about the results of the election, and pursued legal action to overturn the will of the people. This culminated with yesterday’s actions at the Capitol with individuals determined to cause harm in a domestic terror attack on the most significant symbol of our system of self-government. Those responsible must be held to account under federal law. Today, we are calling on you to use your authority as Vice President to invoke the 25th Amendment immediately to ensure a peaceful transition of power and to save our nation.

  • Standing Committees for the 101 St Wisconsin State Legislature Will Have Bipartisan Leadership
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 4, 2012 For Further Information Contact: Rep. Robin Vos (608) 266-9171 SPEAKER-ELECT VOS ANNOUNCES COMMITTEE CHAIR ASSIGNMENTS The new speaker makes history by establishing two committees with bipartisan chairs. Madison …In an unprecedented move, Speaker-elect Robin Vos announced that two of the Assembly standing committees for the 101 st Wisconsin State Legislature will have bipartisan leadership. “Legislative committees are where most of the heavy lifting is done in creating legislation. I think that it’s important that we have a bipartisan approach on some key issues,” said Speaker-elect Vos. Rep. Travis Tranel (R-Cuba City) and Rep. Leon Young (D-Milwaukee) will chair the State and Federal Relations Committee. Rep. Chris Kapenga (R-Delafield) and Rep. Jill Billings (D-LaCrosse) will chair the Constitution and Ethics Committee. “The State and Federal Relations Committee was created in an attempt to maximize our ability to work together to find savings for taxpayers,” said Speaker-elect Vos. “The Constitution and Ethics Committee will work to find a bipartisan consensus when clarifying and amending the state’s ethics laws.” According to the Legislative Reference Bureau, it has been nearly 20 years since an Assembly standing committee had leaders from each party. In 1995-1996, Speaker David Prosser appointed Rep. Annette “Polly” Williams, a Milwaukee Democrat, as chair of the Urban Education Committee. i “I’m confident that the leaders of all the Assembly committees are ready to work across the aisle and make the tough decisions to address the issues facing our state,” said Speaker-elect Vos.

This was the largest class of women legislators in state history. Women now hold 31 percent of the seats in the Wlegislature. Previously, the largest number of women to serve in a session was 37, a num- ber reached in the 1989 and 2003 sessions. Including those serving in the senate and the assembly today, a total of 152 women have now been seated in the Wisconsin Legislature. Among all states, Wisconsin currently has the 22nd-highest proportion of women serv- ing in its legislature.1 This paper celebrates the service, achievements, and leadership of Wisconsin women legislators. Women in the assembly When Mildred Barber, Helen Brooks, and Helen Thompson took office in January 1925 as “assemblymen”—members of the assembly were formally renamed “representatives” in 1969 2—they became the first women to serve in the Wisconsin Legislature. Until the 1970s, no more than three women at a time served in the assembly, and during some sessions, no women served in the assembly at all.3 Of the 31 women elected to serve in 2021–22, 10 are in their first session.
