Wisconsin Ag Coalition: Praises Senate passage of SB 247
MADISON – The Wisconsin Ag Coalition applauds the action taken by the Wisconsin State Senate today after they voted unanimously to pass Senate Bill 247, authored by Senators Marklein (R-Spring Green) and Tomczyk (R-Mosinee) and Representatives Tranel (R-Cuba City) and VanderMeer (R-Tomah). The bill would create an Agricultural Road Improvement Program (ARIP) to provide grants for local governments to repair and rebuild crumbling roads and bridges that create problems for farmers. “We appreciate the support of the members of the Senate in recognizing the problems that deteriorating and failing infrastructure cause for farmers and acting to do something about it,” said
