Senator Howard Marklein

What is best for the people of Wisconsin was getting relief today, not asking people to hope for relief next year. I am disappointed that the people of Wisconsin will suffer because politicians on both sides were unable to see this. This is politics at its worst.

Did you know that the 17th Senate District is home to more state parks than any other district in the state?

Today I did a tour of all 8 state parks and stopped in all 6 counties in my district. It was a perfect fall day to enjoy the beauty of the Driftless Region!

Starting today, Wisconsinites will no longer have to pay sales tax on their household energy bills!

Because of our work in the bipartisan state budget, Wisconsin residents will effectively see a 5% cut in their electricity bill, saving ratepayers an estimated $178 million over the next two years.

Happy National Dog Day from Marlo and me!

This was my third budget as JFC Co-Chair and will be the third budget signed by the Governor during that time.

I am very proud to have worked on a budget that provides broad tax relief and invests in ways that make Wisconsin a better place to live, work, and raise a family.
