MADISON – It hasn’t been long since many Wisconsinites have had to vote on referendums to keep their public school doors open, and now in this new year, our schools continue to be underfunded. This spring 50 school districts will go to referendum, with 29 seeking $915 million in operating costs alone.

And despite chairing the Blue Ribbon Commission on School Funding, Sen. Olsen has repeatedly ignored his own recommendations. “For too long, schools in central Wisconsin have

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Mark Pocan (WI-02) released the following statement ahead of the vote on the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act. “In Wisconsin, we’ve seen the firsthand effects of the attacks on labor, as former Governor Scott Walker gutted labor protections and turned my home state into a ‘right-to-work’ state. The PRO Act would eliminate those state right-to-work-for-less laws and ensure that unions can receive the full support of the workers it represents. “For far too long, workers have been stripped of their voices, losing their power to organize for better wages and benefits.
