Ordered flags to half-staff on Sunday, January 6, 2019, as a mark of respect for Captain Christopher Truman of the Lake Mills Fire Department.

Today, I ordered flags to half-staff in honor of former state senator Walter John Chilsen. He was a WWII veteran, Purple Heart recipient, and an outstanding lifelong public servant. He will be missed.

Happy Birthday to my mom!

2018-19 will open with the second-largest opening balance since 2000.

[Governor Walker @GovWalker]

$588.5 million surplus! For the 8th year in a row, Wisconsin has ended the fiscal year with a surplus!

[Governor Walker @GovWalker]

We are leaving Wisconsin in the best financial condition in a generation. This is part of our legacy and it will continue to drive Wisconsin forward.

[Governor Walker @GovWalker]

Wisconsin’s unemployment rate has been at or below 3% for 10 straight months! We also added nearly 10,000 Private-Sector Jobs in November, bringing the total jobs created since we’ve taken office to over 250,000.

Great news! -> “Wisconsin’s tax burden—defined as state and local taxes as a share of income—fell in 2018 to its lowest level in nearly 50 years.” https://t.co/Xsbvd3ZZ8Q

Unlike the bills I signed today, this one did fundamentally shift power from one branch to another when things had grown out of balance: https://t.co/uKFP3KYhIS

[Governor Walker @GovWalker]

These bills increase transparency, accountability, stability, and protect the taxpayers of Wisconsin.

The new law requires a uniform number of days for early voting all across the state. Previously, some communities had more days to vote early than other communities - which was not fair.

[Governor Walker @GovWalker]

Signed Senate Bills 883, 884, & 886 into law in Green Bay. Despite all the hype and hysteria out there, these bills do nothing to fundamentally diminish executive authority. The bottom line is the new gov. will cont. to be one of the most powerful chief executives in the country.

[Governor Walker @GovWalker]

The new law requires notice and a report when the governor pardons a convicted felon.
