Purpose of the Conservation Scorecard The goal of the Scorecard is to provide objective, factual information about the voting records of Wisconsin’s state Senators and Representatives. The Scorecard is designed to provide voters with the information necessary to distinguish true stewards of Wisconsin’s environment from those who just talk about it. Summary of the Legislative Session Despite a tough economic climate that overshadowed many legislative actions, there are numerous examples of conservation successes from the 2009-2010 legislative session. There were many pro-conservation bills passed with bi-partisan support, including several that had been introduced but never successfully adopted in past legislative sessions – bills that will reduce phosphorus run-off into our lakes, ensure that electronics are recycled, and implement youth mentored hunting. That said, the legislature missed opportunities this session to tackle the biggest issues selected by the conservation community – the issues included in the Conservation Priority Agenda. The failure of the legislature to meaningfully address climate change, to protect our groundwater and drinking water, and to override Governor Doyle’s veto of the independent Department of Natural Resources Secretary were particularly disappointing. How the Conservation Scorecard is Prepared Throughout each of the Wisconsin Legislature’s two-year sessions, Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters tracks each and every conservation bill. This Conservation Scorecard 2009-2010 reports on the most important of those bills that were voted on in the full Senate and Assembly and in the important Joint Finance Committee. The Conservation Scorecard Advisory Council - an independent and diverse group of conservation, business and community leaders – recommended which votes to score. The Board of Directors of Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters made the final decision. Where You Come In Conservation has no political party. While it is legislators who ultimately cast the votes that determine Wisconsin’s conservation policies, the real power lies in the hands of voters like you – you determine who makes those decisions. We hope that you’ll use the Conservation Scorecard 2009-2010 to get the information you need to become an educated conservation voter.

  • 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.
