Hi John, We need your voice. Funding for local communities in Wisconsin is at risk. Write your senator today >>> The governor’s authority to quickly deploy federal dollars to respond to emergencies is vital to protecting our communities. When there’s severe flooding, a health crisis like COVID-19, serious drinking water concerns, or other natural disasters, this funding is necessary to provide housing, emergency supplies, and more. This joint resolution could even put future investments in climate change solutions in jeopardy since many of the new investments in President Biden's Affordable Clean Energy Plan are being developed as grants from the federal government. But the Wisconsin Legislature is attempting to undermine the governor’s authority and insert a new legislative power to decide how those funds get spent. Assembly Joint Resolution (AJR) 6, a constitutional amendment, will likely be on the senate floor next week.
Take action now and write your senator to oppose AJR 6. Make sure the governor is able to keep his authority to quickly distribute federal funds and protect our communities.
