Assembly Republicans Ask DHS to Reconsider Dental Grant to Help Disabled
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 29, 2017 For more information contact: Speaker Robin Vos (608) 266-9171 Rep. Mike Kuglitsch (608) 267-5158 Rep. Rob Hutton (608) 267-9836 Rep. Janel Brandtjen (608) 267-2367 Rep. Dale Kooyenga (608) 266-9180 Assembly Republicans Ask DHS to Reconsider Dental Grant to Help Disabled Madison …A group of Assembly Republicans from southeastern Wisconsin is calling on the Department of Health Services (DHS) to provide resources to a Milwaukee dental clinic that provides services for those with severe cognitive and physical disabilities. The St. Ann Center for Intergenerational Care in Milwaukee did not receive the Dental Clinics – Increasing Access to Care grant for the first time in several years. Since it may be the only facility that provides dental care targeting this population, lawmakers would like the agency to reconsider its decision regarding the grant funding. The Republican legislators made the plea to the state dental officer in a letter that points out, “there appears to be a critical population missing from the list of recipients. Specifically, a facility which predominately services those with special needs does not appear to have been selected for any funding.” The letter later says, “These (dental) procedures generally, not only take longer than a normal procedure, but may require a higher number of staff as well. In order to sustain these services for this critical population statewide, resources are needed to keep the doors open to those truly in need of this care.” The legislators look forward to hearing back from DHS on how this population can continue to get essential dental services at facilities like the St. -

Bruce King — Government Affairs Director So why, with our 20 year involvement in state Supreme Court races is WRA involving itself in Court of Appeals races? First, like cases in front of the Supreme Court, court of appeals decisions have statewide impact. Opinions are binding on all circuit courts and courts of appeals throughout Wisconsin. And because any case can be automatically ap- pealed to the court of appeals, the court decides many appeals, many of which involve issues impacting the real estate industry like land use, zoning, legal title, contracts, fi- nancing, foreclosure and liability. -
Of 2 January 15, 2021 the Honorable Tony Evers Governor of Wisconsin
January 15, 2021 The Honorable Tony Evers Governor of Wisconsin State Capitol, Room 115 East Dear Governor Evers, As you know, CVS and Walgreens are partnering with the CDC to distribute COVID-19 vaccines to residents of nursing homes in Wisconsin. As the vaccine becomes more widely available to the public, we request that you explore all options for including vaccine distribution through locally owned and operated pharmacies. The timely distribution of these vaccines will require an all hands on deck approach. While emergency authorization of these vaccines by the FDA includes restrictions on distribution, waivers are frequently sought when they are necessary and prudent. Any exclusion of locally owned pharmacies will hurt small business, which will cause significant long term harm to Wisconsin’s economic recovery and long term health. Even more critically, excluding small pharmacies from this critical work will hamper vaccine distribution across our state. Many people, particularly in rural and urban communities, may be more likely to get the vaccine if it can be administered by a familiar face at a local pharmacy instead of through a big box store. We urge you to do all you can to ensure locally owned pharmacies are included in our state’s fight against this disease. Sincerely, Rep. Dave Murphy Rep. Janel Brandtjen Rep. Rachael Cabral-Guevara 56th Assembly District 22nd Assembly District 55th Assembly District Rep. Calvin Callahan Rep. Barbara Dittrich Rep.
