  • Rep. Scott Allen (608) 266-8580
    For Immediate Release June 25, 2020 Contact: Rep. Scott Allen (608) 266-8580 Protection of Public Property Yesterday, Rep. Allen and legislative colleagues sent the following letter to Governor Tony Evers advocating for the protection of State property: June 24, 2020 The Honorable Tony Evers Office of the Governor Room 115 East, State Capitol Madison WI, 53702 Governor Evers, As you know, protests in the City of Madison again turned violent yesterday evening. Sen. Tim Carpenter was violently attacked. State property honoring an abolitionist and Wisconsin’s progressive history was destroyed. During the last several weeks, cities across Wisconsin and the country have seen violence erupt stemming in part from a significant injustice. As expressed by members of the legislature in a previous letter to you dated June 5, 2020, individuals have every right to participate in a peaceful protest as protected by the First Amendment, however, they do not have the right to destroy property, and inflict damage upon the People’s House, the State Capitol. We as members of the legislature, representing the people of Wisconsin, request that you authorize Capitol Police to provide adequate protection to any and all State assets that may be affected by violence. Absent the requested mobilization of police protection, we request that State-owned assets including but not limited to, artwork, statues, fixtures and anything that cannot be properly secured be physically removed from the State Capitol and state owned buildings and be stored safely, until a time of peace or a time when your administration can work out an effective asset protection plan.

  • 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.
