U.S. Rep. Kagen: Votes to create jobs and support Wisconsin industry

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) Congressman Steve Kagen, M.D. voted for the American Clean Energy and Security Act to create higher wage jobs and support industries across Wisconsin. The legislation went through many changes before Kagen was willing to offer his support.

“This bill will encourage private sector investments in clean energy to create new jobs in Northeast Wisconsin while supporting the industries that have been part of our way of life,” said Kagen. “We are taking the necessary steps to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and build a better future for our children and grandchildren.”

Congressman Kagen has been working closely with House Agriculture Committee Chairman Colin Peterson to ensure that Wisconsin’s family farms are rewarded for their efforts to operate self-sustaining farms. Furthermore, this legislation will grow our economy and expand the market for biofuels and renewable energy by reclassifying all trees as agricultural products and all tree byproducts as renewable energy sources. Farmers and forest owners will benefit as well from the creation of a market-based carbon offset program run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

“We have kept the EPA off our farms,” said Kagen.

The jobs created cannot be shipped overseas and will make America the global innovation leader and preserve our planet by reducing the pollution that causes global warming.

. The American Clean Energy and Security Act supports key industries in Northeast Wisconsin including papermaking and agriculture. The bill will help the paper industry transition to a cleaner, more profitable future through allowances to cover their increased costs in a changing global marketplace.

“This forward-thinking legislation would not be possible without the hard work and support of Rep. Steve Kagen,” said Sue Breitlich, President of the Wisconsin Farmers Union. “He consistently puts Wisconsin’s family farmers at the forefront of his decisions, and his vote in favor of ACES is yet another example of his commitment to agriculture.”

“I am always listening to my constituents throughout Northeast Wisconsin in visits to their communities and my Tele-Town Hall meetings with more than 11,000 people this week,” Kagen added.

“They have shared their valid concerns with me about this legislation and I have fought hard to protect the industries that have been the backbone of our economy in Northeast Wisconsin for generations. We cannot simply do ‘nothing’. In my judgment, this is a time for action to bring about the changes we need to put our community, our country and our economy on the road to recovery.”

"Liquor license changes possible under provision in budget bill

By Malavika Jagannathan • mjaganna@greenbaypressgazette.com • June 27, 2009

The provision would allow the Department of Revenue to issue the license — commonly used by restaurants and taverns to serve alcohol — to tribes that meet the general qualifications for the permits, according to a comparative summary of budget changes released Thursday by the Legislative Fiscal Bureau." Liquor license changes possible under provision in budget bill | greenbaypressgazette.com | Green Bay Press-Gazette

Who slipped this into the bill?

All these things should have a public hearing," Cowles said. "There are people from the restaurant industries who'd be interested in this. When someone can get around the normal way of doing things, you've got a competitive issue."

I guess Comrade Doyle, Comrade Hansen and the rest of Supreme Soviet can do anything they want.

Comrades, Old USSR

USSR History lesson.

"Old USSR is a growing, developing, and established nation at 154 days old with citizens primarily of Russian ethnicity whose religion is Hinduism. Its technology is first rate and its citizens marvel at the astonishing advancements within their nation. Its citizens pay extremely high taxes and many despise their government as a result. The citizens of Old USSR work diligently to produce Pigs and Water as tradable resources for their nation. It is an aggressive country that some say has an itch for war. It believes nuclear weapons are necessary for the security of its people. The military of Old USSR has been positioned at all border crossings and is arresting all drug traffickers. Old USSR does not allow any form of government protests. Its armed police forces work quickly at "dissolving" any and all government protests. Its borders are closed to all forms of immigration. Old USSR detains individuals who participate in the slanderous comments about the government. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. Old USSR will not make deals with another country that has a poor history of inhuman treatment of its citizens. " Old USSR - Cyber Nations Wiki - Nations, alliances, treaties, and more

"UW staff could be assigned to unions

Following is the latest coverage of the 2009-'11 state budget process.

Thousands of currently unrepresented academic staffers at University of Wisconsin campuses could be assigned into existing unions - rather than having the chance to vote - under a provision included in the state budget, state officials say.

The 2009-'11 budget plan, awaiting a final agreement in Madison, would give UW faculty and academic staff the right to collectively bargain, meaning faculty and staff could vote to form bargaining units at different campuses.

But part of the language added by state Rep. Cory Mason (D-Racine), a former union lobbyist, and state Sen. Dave Hansen (D-Green Bay), gives the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission the express authority to assign some academic staff employees to appropriate unions without a vote."

Here Jo tells us what the cost will be.

"Forget that right to decide. That’s done and over with for academic staff and research assistants.

OK. So how much will all this supposed collective bargaining cost taxpayers and tuition payers? Page 8 of the same LFB budget paper linked just above says increased costs not allowed for in the budget equal $2.2 million and 32 FTE’s. That’s just the cost for employees to manage the collective bargaining! – Approximately $1.5 million from state taxpayers and $0.7 million from university revenues.

And that $2.2 million doesn’t even start to cover any increases in costs that may result from those bargained agreements. Those costs aren’t in the budget either. Wow. " FoxPolitics.net - Appleton, WI News - What's really going on in the Fox Cities

"Green Bay's unemployment rate stays put in May

By Bob Van enkenvoort • rvanenkenvoort@greenbaypressgazette.com • June 25, 2009

Green Bay's unemployment rate didn't go up in May. It didn't go down, either.
Advertisement

After falling from 13.1 percent in March to 12.3 percent in April, the city's unemployment rate stayed the same in May, according to state Department of Workforce Development figures released Wednesday. The rate was more than twice as high as the 6 percent rate recorded in May 2008.

March's rate was the highest recorded in Green Bay since 1990.

The unemployment rate in the Green Bay Metropolitan Statistical Area — Brown, Kewaunee and Oconto counties — also remained the same at 8.4 percent. It had declined to 8.4 percent in April from 9.2 percent in March. The rate in May 2008 was 4.1 percent.

According to the state statistics, 156,102 of 170,434 were employed in May in the Green Bay MSA.

"It's still an extremely difficult labor market," said Jim Golembeski, executive director of Bay Area Workforce Development Board. "Businesses are struggling and, at best, holding their own."

Having advanced skills is still a significant part of finding employment, he said.

"I keep saying: 'If you're looking for a job, you need a career.'"

There isn't a lot of change in the job market, he said, noting that a lot of people are still looking for work.

"Whatever a recovery is going to look like, it's going to happen quite slow," he said.

May's state unemployment rate was 8.7 percent, down from 8.8 percent in April and up from 4.4 percent in May 2008.

Unemployment in the Madison metropolitan area rose from 6 percent in April to 6.2 percent in May, still the lowest unemployment rate in the state.

The unemployment rate in Milwaukee rose from 8.9 percent to 9 percent.

Janesville continued to have the highest unemployment rate of the state's 12 largest cities at 12.9 percent, unchanged from April.

The national unemployment rate in May was 9.4 percent, up from 8.9 percent in April and 5.5 percent in May 2008." Green Bay's unemployment rate stays put in May | greenbaypressgazette.com | Green Bay Press-Gazette

I wonder how many jobs Jim Golembeski has found for the people of Wisconsin. Starting with New Page in the past Mr. Golembeski has been doing one heck of a job getting the people of Wisconsin employed in the area! I forgot where Golembeski gets his salary from? Those training classes are doing just GREAT.

Good Going Jim!

Vukmir to challenge Sullivan for Senate seat
By Stacy Forster of the Journal Sentinel

Jun. 25, 2009 11:34 a.m. | Madison — Rep. Leah Vukmir (R-Wauwatosa) said Thursday she plans to challenge first-term Sen. Jim Sullivan (D-Wauwatosa) in next fall's election.

Vukmir, who was elected in 2002, announced her candidacy in Wauwatosa and said she would be a senator who better represents the district's priorities. Vukmir, 51, a registered nurse, said she had a record of progress on job creation, tax relief, education reform and health care reform.

"When the economy soured, some politicians in Madison were concerned only with how to raise enough tax revenue to fund their spending addiction," Vukmir said in a statement. "My priority has been, and will always be, creating jobs and providing core services in the most efficient way possible."

Sullivan, 41, an attorney, beat former Sen. Tom Reynolds (R-West Allis) to win the seat in 2006. He was the only Democrat to vote against the budget in the Senate last week and is the target of a recall effort triggered by his vote for a statewide smoking ban.

In a statement, Sullivan said he has tried to be an independent voice for the district, working to create jobs in the biotechnology and medical sectors, supporting small businesses and improving public safety. »Read Full Article"

"Doyle calls special legislative session to deal with budget issue

By Steven Walters of the Journal Sentinel

Posted: Jun. 23, 2009 12:32 p.m.

Madison — Gov. Jim Doyle on Tuesday called the first of several potential special sessions of the Legislature, saying legislators must act quickly to extend the tax on hospitals passed earlier this year to generate $74 million in additional federal aid.

"My preference would be for the entire budget to be completed on time, but the Legislature is now facing critical financial deadlines and I'm calling on them to act," Doyle said in his statement calling the special session for 1 p.m. Wednesday.

Doyle and Democrats who control the Legislature have agreed to extend the tax on hospitals approved in February to surgical centers - a move the governor said would generate an additional $74 million in federal Medicaid reimbursement aid and free up $26.6 million in state funds to help cover a record deficit.

Federal rules require that the new assessment formula be in place within a week, which is why Doyle said he called the special session of the Legislature for Wednesday.

But legislative leaders have other differences on the 2009-'11 budget that have so far blocked action on it, threatening to push final action past July 1, which is the start of the next spending cycle. Legislative leaders and Doyle aides continued to meet privately Tuesday to try to resolve those differences.

Monday, Doyle said the Legislature may also have to act separately to meet the July 1 deadline to impose 6% across-the-board cuts in spending by state agencies. Also, state government would get an additional $15 million in federal aid if it has a law in place on July 1 letting law officers stop vehicles if they suspect its occupants are not wearing belts."

The Department of Natural Resources says it will participate in a nationally-coordinated effort called “Operation Dry Water” Friday through Sunday.

"Advocates stress safety in effort to restore driver's license provision
6/22/2009

Representatives from law enforcement, the dairy industry, labor groups and religious organizations urged lawmakers this morning to approve a provision in the state budget that would provide limited driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants.

The state Senate last week stripped the provision out of the budget after the Assembly had signed off on it. A series of speakers this morning asked the Senate to reverse course, stressing it was not an immigration issue, but rather about providing safe roads in Wisconsin.

Dairy farmer John Rosenow of Cochran said many immigrants working in rural Wisconsin studied for driver's license exams and took the test to obtain licenses prior to the approval of the federal REAL ID bill. Since then, he said there has not been a drop in the number of immigrants driving on rural roads but rather a decrease in safety.

"The only issue here is safety," Rosenow said.

Speakers at this morning's news conference singled out state Sen. Tim Carpenter (above) as a key member of the Senate that they plan to lobby to restore the provision.

See more in the WisPolitics Budget Blog. " WisPolitics.com

What safety issue can there be? What  B S ! What seems to be the problem. If you are a legal citizen you can get a drivers license. If your not, then you can't.

So Canada's Health care isn't working? Your pulling my leg, come on , say it isn't so!

The dems health care plan will cost what?

The chair of the Brown County Republican Party says a government plan is too expensive, estimated at more than a trillion dollars, and fears it could force out private insurers.

Russ Feingold, The Rest Of The Story

From Tim Ryan at the Shawano Leader. I like this answer from Russ.

" Feingold addresses health care at forums.
That was evident in at least one of the comments from attendees at the listening session, who said he didn’t like the idea of the government telling him what doctor to go to or what procedures he could have. Feingold said neither of those claims are accurate.
"Feingold addresses health care at forums By Tim Ryan, Leader Reporter

O sure Russ, who's going to make those decisions then? People in Wisconsin will believe everything Russ tells them. Maybe Russ can get a new job after his senate work to take over Paul Harvey's "Rest of the Story"
Then this.

Second to health care in the Menominee County listening session was the shortage of funding available for many county and tribal needs.

Feingold said he would look to see whether there is money available in the stimulus package that could address some of those needs.

Russ sure likes to spend that stimulus money!!!!!!!!

You mean there is still some left to spend?

Democratic Budget Lies, Wisconsin 5th District ?

From FoxPolitics.

Since Democrat Tom Nelson's district is just a couple blocks from here we thank Jo for her post. Link to map of his district.

How can people of Maple Grove, Seymour, Hobart and the rest of the 5th ASSEMBLY DISTRICT. put up with the budget lies that the democratic elected officials are telling them?

Let's not forget democrat Dave Hansen in the state 30th senate seat. He pushed through the budget in secret.

"Tom Nelson - unbelievable hubris

In the category of if-you-repeat-it-enough-almost-anyone-will-believe-it, Rep. Tom Nelson actually puts Democratic budget lies in print. Rep. Nelson’s stock reply letter to constituents who objected (were there any that supported?) his vote in favor of a very messy budget calls the budget “in simplest terms, a fair share budget.” " FoxPolitics.net - Appleton, WI News - What's really going on in the Fox Cities

Thank Jo , keep it up.

Update;
Here's Tom Nelson's number, please let him know how you feel.

Thousands Of Jobs Coming To Appleton

From the Appleton Post Crescent.

Praise God, jobs finally coming to Appleton and Outagamie County from Stimulus Bill.

Well may only Eleven (11).

"Appleton stimulus aid will boost energy conservation projects First part of city's $3.5 million grant coming this week

By Steve Wideman • Post-Crescent staff writer • June 22, 2009

APPLETON — The city should see its first influx of federal economic stimulus money this coming week." Appleton stimulus aid will boost energy conservation projects | Postcrescent.com | Appleton Post-Crescent

City grants administrator Sarah Higgins said $689,800 from a grant fund is expected to be used in energy conservation projects.

"We are looking to upgrade energy systems at the city level that will ultimately lower property taxes," Higgins said.

The grant is part of $3.5 million in federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds headed to Appleton in the coming months and at least $49.8 million in stimulus funds earmarked for Outagamie County, according to information released by the Wisconsin Recovery and Reinvestment office.

Higgins said the $689,8000 in energy funds will be used for projects to cut energy costs, including placing mechanical and electrical devices in city-owned buildings that will shut off lights and power down heating and air conditioning system when no one is using the building.

"We hope the city will lead (energy conservation efforts) by example," Higgins said.

A separate $161,702 Community Development Block Grant will be used to upgrade street lighting and to plant trees in the downtown area.

"The tree planting is in response to the emerald ash borer," Higgins said.

The emerald ash borer is a beetle that has killed an estimated 25 million trees in eight states, according to the state Department of Natural Resources.

"We could lose quite a few trees in the downtown to the ash borer," Higgins said.

She said the improved street lighting "will protect people who walk to and from work late at night and result in energy efficiencies."

Just how many, if any, jobs in Appleton will be created with the stimulus money is unclear at this point, Higgins said.

Officially, the city will report the creation or retention of 11 jobs, but the city has no plans to hire anyone.

Higgins said the city is required under federal reporting guidelines to report one job created or retained for every $92,000 received in stimulus money.

Dean Gazza, the city's director of facilities and construction management, said the city intends to contract out for most of the energy conservation work.

"Theoretically, we are creating work, so we must be creating jobs," Gazza said.

In reality, he said, the city will ask for bids from companies to do the contracted work.

A part-time prosecutor will be hired by the Outagamie County district attorney's office to handle cases generated by a federally funded initiative to address rental property crime.

The city will get $134,857 from the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants program. The funds are the city's share of a joint application and award among Appleton, Grand Chute and Outagamie County. The town will receive $14,098 and the county $14,896.

Appleton Deputy Police Chief Peter Helein said the enforcement effort includes a focus on gang and illegal drug use abatement.

"We are going to be spending the money on technology and equipment related to supporting that endeavor," Helein said.

Valley Transit has applied for $1.48 million in stimulus money to be used for buildings and equipment, but not to hire new employees.

Valley Transit general manager Deborah Wetter previously said $720,000 will be used to buy electronic fare boxes for buses, a new ticket vending for the downtown transit center and $400,000 to replace the roof on the Wittman Avenue bus garage.

The remainder of the money will be used to replace Valley Transit bus stop signs and to purchase three hybrid, 12-passenger buses to use on routes that do not require full-sized buses.

Some of the transportation stimulus money will be used to replace Valley Transit passenger shelters that do not meet the Americans with Disabilities Act standards for accessibility, Wetter said.

Higgins said the city also will receive $1 million in stimulus money for two programs not included in the overall county total.

The city will receive a $560,700 grant for homeless prevention efforts. The funds will be divided among the Salvation Army, Emergency Shelters of the Fox Valley and Legal Action of Wisconsin.

"This grant is to help those most directly affected by the recession," Higgins said.

The money will be allocated to directly help clients of any housing-related agencies in Outagamie and Calumet counties facing a housing crisis, said Emergency Shelter executive director Deb Cronmiller.

"I believe the idea of the federal government is to open a new pool of money to help those folks immediately affected by the recession," Cronmiller said.

She said the stimulus money will help people maintain housing if they are at risk of losing their homes or to rapidly relocate people who recently lost their homes.

Cronmiller said the shelter will hire a temporary, half-time data entry person to handle cases generated by the stimulus funding.

"Once the stimulus money is gone and once we are done expending those funds, so will the half-time person be gone," she said.

Cronmiller said funding should be available Aug. 1. Anyone at risk of losing their home or those already homeless can call Emergency Shelters of the Fox Valley, LEAVEN or the Salvation Army, Cronmiller said.

Higgins said a final $497,000 grant funded with stimulus money will be used in a citywide program to reduce lead contamination threats.

"The money will help to eliminate lead hazards in homes where children under the age of 6 reside," Higgins said.

Thank God a majority of people voted for Democrats and Rino's. Thousands of JOBS from the stimulas bill? Thank You, Kagen, Obey, Kohl, Feingold and President Obama

I guess maybe only 11 1/2 new jobs for now!

WDNR, Water Front Takeover

From the GREAT Lakeland-Times

Another wake up call to the people of Wisconsin who own water front property.

"6/19/2009 9:18:00 AM
With NR115, DNR can score a Super Trifecta
Richard Moore
Investigative Reporter

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is poised to score a huge victory this summer when its long-cooking (and cooked up) revision of the state's shoreland zoning code is ratified." With NR115, DNR can score a Super Trifecta

Lake front owners, pay attention.

So, the rubber finally meets the road. The department was still going to remove those noncompliant structures; they just wanted to give homeowners some time to prepare.

And one last thought for you.

Right now, suffice it to say, unless people quickly get moving, both by stopping this rule and then pressuring the Legislature to act, nonconformity as a tool the DNR will use to steal your land will grow and grow. The implications are enormous.

Using slick propaganda and carefully parsed language, the DNR and its allies are betting the people won't figure it all out until it's too late.

People need to read the whole article and need to react!
