This week’s Weekly Radio Addresses from Wisconsin’s Capitol are on the topics of public safety and veterans. These addresses are available for Wisconsin broadcasters to use as they see fit. Here are the summaries from WisPolitics:
— In this week’s , Rep. Bob Donovan discusses the importance of public safety and touts criminal justice-related bills approved in the Assembly.
“I authored bills that would increase transparency in our judicial system, harshen penalties for those who partake in reckless driving, and require compliance to an already signed law that ensures Milwaukee Public Schools hire school resource officers for their schools or face the consequences,” the Greenfield Republican says.
He says several bills had bipartisan support.
“Sadly, there are some Democrats that believe it’s more important to side with criminals instead of constituents,” Donovan adds. “This is simply unacceptable. Public safety is crucial to the fabric of our communities, and I will continue to be an advocate for common-sense reforms that put citizens first.”
— In this week’s , Gov. Tony Evers touts proposals in the state budget to help veterans and families.
“As governor, it’s important to me that we protect, defend, and support the veterans who’ve protected, defended, and supported us. It’s why my budget includes key initiatives aimed at supporting Wisconsin’s 300,000 veterans and their families once they return to civilian life,” the Dem guv says.
Evers says “it’s more important than ever that we take care of our veterans here in Wisconsin” considering uncertainty and actions at the federal level impacting veterans.
“And I urge the Legislature to join me by supporting this important work and supporting my budget initiatives to help support our veterans and their families,” he says.
