Box 8952 Madison, WI 53708-8952 January 22nd, 2020 Chairman Kooyenga and Senate Universities, Technical Colleges, Children and Families Committee Members, Thank you for holding a Public Hearing on SB 403 related to free expression within the University of Wisconsin System. I am honored to have worked with Senator Kapenga, Representative Vos, and Representative Murphy on this legislation as well as the substitute amendment. Campuses across the country have erupted in protest, including violent riots, as the growing debate over who has the right to speak threatens our nation’s first amendment. This bill will protect free speech and ensure the free exchange of ideas at our institutions of higher learning. SB 403 is a commitment to protect the freedom of expression on college campuses in order to encourage the broadening of thought and growth of ideas. This bill directs the Board of Regents to develop and adopt a policy on free expression, allowing students and faculty the freedom to express themselves as the first amendment permits. In addition, the amendment expands these protections to students who are part of our Wisconsin Technical College System as well. The bill and the amendment direct the Board of Regents and the Technical College System Board to implement disciplinary measures for anyone who engages in violent and disorderly conduct that interferes with the free expression of others, while allowing a person whose rights have been violated to take action. Suppressing a viewpoint to ensure the protection of another stifles the growth of new thought.

  • The Bombing at Sterling Hall: a Three-Act Drama by David J
    ©2009 COPYRIGHT FOR THIS WORK IS HELD BY DAVID J. MARCOU AND MATTHEW A. MARCOU CREDIT MUST BE GIVEN TO DAVID J. MARCOU AS AUTHOR Bloody Math: A Drama in Three Acts, by David J. Marcou. Copyright 2004 for Original Draft, and Copyright 2009 for Revision, by David J. Marcou and Matthew A. Marcou. Author’s Note: This play is an historical drama in the sense that Shakespeare‟s chronicle plays were – they deal with some real, some imagined or slightly altered historical figures and events -- and very little of the historical dialogue was spoken in just the way it is re-presented here. The method is a combination of the descriptive and the telegraphic, and not all the stage directions and character descriptions are precisely detailed, because each production will need some latitude to achieve this drama‟s goals. But the key thing Bloody Math shares with the bard‟s chronicle plays is, it‟s hoped, the truthfulness of its ideas, language, characters, and action. Historical events can contain a great deal of drama in and around them – as the bombing at the University of Wisconsin‟s Sterling Hall did in August 1970. And yet, it takes a good writer to re-present relevant figures, events, dialogue, etc., so they will honestly enlighten future generations about the contexts, impacts, and relevancies to what went before them, and what came after. It is my fondest hope as the writer of this historical drama that viewers will learn from the mistakes of many people in 1970 Madison, including the large human mistakes of the New Year‟s Gang and the related mistakes of the authorities, and live better lives, as a result.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act already imposes minimum capital and risk-based capital requirements on all banks, and banks are complying with these requirements. In addition, the agreement reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (Basel I I I) has prompted your various agencies to release a joint notice of proposed rulemakings to revise risk-based and leverage requirements that will apply to all U.S. banks, with the exception of bank holding companies that have consolidated assets of less than $500 million.

  • State and Federal Representatives to Support Appvion at U.S. International Trade Commission Hearing
    State and federal representatives to support Appvion at U.S. International Trade Commission hearing Commission to decide whether to extend antidumping and countervailing duty orders on lightweight thermal paper from China and Germany (Appleton, Wis., October 29, 2014) A group of 14 U.S. senators, representatives and governors from five states will provide testimony and written statements on behalf of Appvion, Inc. for a key hearing at the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) on October 30 in Washington, D.C. The ITC hearing is being held in advance of a ruling on whether or not to extend the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on imports of lightweight thermal paper from China and Germany. The ITC is scheduled to vote on the matter on December 17. Strong support from elected officials Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin, Wisconsin Representatives Reid Ribble and Tom Petri, and Ohio Representative Michael Turner will deliver testimony on behalf of Appvion at the hearing. Ohio Senators Sherrod Brown and Rob Portman; Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey; Wisconsin Representative Ron Kind; Pennsylvania Representative Bill Shuster; Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker; and Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett will submit statements to the ITC supporting Appvion. Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell; Kentucky Representative Brett Guthrie; and Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear will also submit statements in support of Appvion and its base paper supplier Domtar Corporation. Appvion chief executive officer, Mark Richards, and other Appvion executives will testify that the dumped and subsidized imports of lightweight thermal paper from China and Germany will continue to harm lightweight thermal paper producers in the U.S., and as a result corrective duties imposed on the foreign imports should remain in place.
