Madison, WI – Today, the Wisconsin State Senate voted to pass legislation to increase shared revenue funding for local governments. State Senator Brad Pfaff (D-Onalaska) supported the increase in shared revenue and issued the following statement:
“Plowing snow, picking up garbage, and keeping our communities safe are not partisan political issues. The state has not lived up to its end of the bargain with local governments. This bill is a step in the right direction.”
“I’m proud to have voted for this bipartisan legislation to give western Wisconsin communities the support they need. From police and fire protection to garbage collection, this will have a positive impact on residents across our region.”
“Ensuring communities throughout Wisconsin have the necessary resources to keep our communities safe and fix our roads is of the utmost importance. When we support these services, we support a higher quality of life.”
“This funding for our cities, villages, and towns, strengthens the partnership between our state and local governments, and is something our community leaders have long been asking for.”
