Swallow Elementary also stopped by the Capitol on Friday last week! It is always wonderful to see students learning more about our state government.

Legislators who are truly in touch with their constituents should be willing to come back in to get this compromise deal passed in June. @SpeakerVos does an excellent job explaining why the proposal is both wildly popular AND fiscally responsible. #itsyourmoney

"Let's come back and do it in June...let's put some pressure on these politicians to get it done."

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos is pushing for another tax relief vote after deal failed in the state Senate

Who's to blame? "Oh, there's no doubt, it's three Senate Republicans."

Last week, I was honored to be recognized by the @IIAofWI as their Legislator of the Year. Over 1,500 insurance agencies and over 300 insurance companies are domiciled in our state. It has been my honor to work with all parties in keeping Wisconsin's insurance markets stable and our national reputation solid for both the insured and the insurers.

This past session was my most successful EVER!!!

Of the 20 different bills that I authored, 14 of them passed the Assembly and 8 of those were then signed into law by the Governor.

I am so proud to represent my constituents in Madison!

[Rep. Barbara Dittrich @RepDittrich]

I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who contacted my office throughout this session! I appreciate hearing from constituents on a wide variety of issues.

Connecting with YOU, the constituents, is at the heart of all that my office does.

With warmer weather, ALL kinds of animals get out and about. The DNR is advising us to keep an eye out for turtles as they are in their nesting season. When you see them on the road, SLOW DOWN AND GIVE THEM SPACE. You can also report sightings to the DNR if you want. You can learn more here: https://t.co/Ek5mLrTyGu

While Wisconsin's "Heat Awareness Week" begins one week from today, it's not too early to remind you of the signs of heat exhaustion & heat stroke. With the sudden onset of high temperatures, don't forget to stay hydrated, and DON'T leave children or pets waiting in a hot, closed car!

[Rep. Barbara Dittrich @RepDittrich]

Today, 39 of my colleagues and I sent a letter to Governor Evers regarding his commutation policy. It has been STUNNING to see many murderers in our state, including renowned cop killers like Ted Oswald, apply for this early release onto our streets! We asked the governor to commit to not releasing individuals like this and to do a much better job of notifying victims of such requests. Public safety and victims' rights ought to be our top concern.

[Rep. Barbara Dittrich @RepDittrich]

I had a constituent ask me yesterday at the VFW who voted for the compromise bill, and who voted against it. The votes in the Assembly are pictured here. In the Senate, every Democrat voted against it along with Republicans Hutton, Kapenga, and Nass. For what it's worth, this constituent specifically said, "I'm sick of people playing politics with good legislation!"

[Rep. Barbara Dittrich @RepDittrich]

Everywhere I go since our May 13th special session, people on both sides of the aisle are asking me, "Why didn't the compromise bill with the governor pass?" After I make them aware that I voted for it, my answer is always the same, "Call and write your senator!" Our Republican caucus in the Assembly worked for months helping to shape this deal. We know that the surplus is YOUR MONEY. And while I would love to give 100% back to the taxpayers, it was a reasonable compromise to additionally fund our special education students in order to get 80% of the surplus back to the taxpayers through property tax relief, a one-time direct payment, and permanently ensconcing no tax on overtime and no tax on tips.

Wisconsinites want relief NOW, and it was completely out of touch that the Senate Democrats and 3 Republicans didn't realize that.

It was a most meaningful Memorial Day remembering our fallen and, as Jason Church so aptly reminded in his speech, remembering those who lose their lives to veteran suicide once they come home from the battlefield. #MemorialDay #LandOfTheFreeBecauseOfTheBrave #NeverForget
