In addition, Canada’s unfair trade practices harm our agriculture economy—we lost over 600 dairy farms in the last year—and I have pressed the Trump Administration to take action. The USMCA appears to be an important step forward—easing
Contact: Sen Larson 608.266.7505 Sen. Larson: Statement on the Post-Election Extraordinary Session on Kimberly-Clark Milwaukee, WI – Today, Senator Larson released the following statement regarding the post-election extraordinary session on Kimberly-Clark. “Kimberly-Clark is a highly profitable company that posted a 3.3 billion dollar operating profit in 2017, only paid $1 in net state taxes to Wisconsin over the last four years, and now wants $100 million from us. We cannot afford to give away our state. Endlessly giving away as much public money as possible to companies that don’t need it isn’t an acceptable substitute for a real economic development
Contact: Amy Hasenberg, (608) 266-2839 MADISON – Governor Scott Walker released the following statement today regarding Kimberly-Clark: “Legislative leaders are calling an Extraordinary Session of the state Legislature on Monday, November 12, 2018, to allow the Senate to take up Assembly Bill 963, which was approved by members of the Assembly earlier this year. Kimberly-Clark officials, union leaders, local leaders, Senator Fitzgerald, Senator Roth, and I have been working together to keep hundreds of good paying, family supporting jobs in Wisconsin. This is a major step forward in achieving our goal. “My message to Kimberly-Clark employees is simple: we are
Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald announced Tuesday morning the Legislature will call an extraordinary session Nov. 12 for a public hearing in the Senate on an incentive package for Kimberly-Clark with plans for a floor vote later next month. The package, which includes Foxconn-like incentives that would help keep open a plant in the Fox Valley, cleared the Assembly in February. But it has bogged down in the Senate amid concerns over the cost to taxpayers, as well as the precedent it would set to offer such significant incentives to retain jobs. Fitzgerald’s statement this morning didn’t indicate whether he had
Deer farms will continue to be subject to additional fencing requirements under a new emergency rule aimed at curbing chronic wasting disease after lawmakers declined to undo the provision.

Polls from all sources over the past months have underscored the dread, and even alarm that voters are feeling about tariffs. The tariffs that the Trump White House have placed on a number of products ranging across many countries have not only made headlines, but for some companies created shaky bottom lines.
Because the GOP has cast its lot so thoroughly with Trump, he has succeeded in a remarkably short period in moving the window of acceptability in our politics, especially on the right. As a result, the rules of the game have changed in ways that are still hard to grasp, as conservatives accept behaviors and ideological shifts that would have been unacceptable a few years ago.
The attorney general of Wisconsin is an all-in Trump man who refers to his office as “a strong partner” with the Trump administration.
In the interests of Wisconsin’s “homeland security,” our governor should demand that all Wisconsin Guard members remain in Wisconsin.
While the UW’s leadership is working to solve the perennial diversity problem with ambitious and expensive recruitment programs, there are many smaller efforts that go unnoticed, but might just turn out to be as effective in the long run.
