Senate Committee Passes SJR4

The Senate Committee on Labor and Government Reform passed Senate Joint Resolution 4, which deletes the state treasurer from the constitution, today on a party-line vote of 3-2.  The next step is for the full Senate to vote on SJR 4. 

If you haven't done so already, please contact your state senator to let them know why WEMTA is concerned about this proposal. 

HOW DO I CONTACT MY LEGISLATOR?

The first step in contacting your legislator is knowing who your legislator is. The easiest way to do this is the tool found on the Legislature’s home page, at http://legis.wisconsin.gov. In the right-hand side of that page is a link that says Find My Legislators!  Type your address in the box below that link to get the names of your state representative and senator.

·  Phone.  You may leave a message for your legislator’s Capitol office or indicate your position on legislation through the toll free Legislative Hotline, at 1-800-362-9472.

·  E-mail. The e-mail addresses of members of the Wisconsin Legislature all have the same format. For members of the Assembly, the form is Rep.Jones@legis.wisconsin.gov; for members of the Senate, the form is Sen.Adams@legis.wisconsin.gov.
