My staff and I have been busy for the past ten months, preparing research and legislation for the 2017-18 legislative session. And yesterday, the new session began with the inaugural floor periods for both the Senate and the Assembly.
The only resolutions voted on yesterday were to elect Senate officers and to approve the session calendar, but more is certainly to come. Already, co-sponsorship memos are coming into my office, and conversations have begun over the coming budget debate. Next week Tuesday, Governor Walker will deliver his State of the State speech to a joint session of the Legislature and Supreme Court.
Throughout the session, I will keep you informed on our progress through these E-Updates, my Facebook page, and my website. I welcome your input and prayers for my colleagues and me as we strive to serve you over the coming two years.
