Please join us at one of the Listening Sessions with Representative Dean Knudson on Monday, May 2nd. Dean will take questions and listen to comments and suggestions from constituents.

We also need a few volunteers to assist during the meetings.

Knudson has scheduled listening sessions at three locations on May 2nd. The first session will be in Ellsworth at the Seyforth Building on the Pierce County Fairgrounds, 364 N. Maple St., from 10 am to Noon. The second session will be at Hudson Town Hall, 980 County Road A, from 1 to 3 pm. The final session of the day will be held at St. Joseph Town Hall, 1337 County Road V, from 5 to 7 pm.

The sessions are open to all 30th District constituents to offer their input on the state budget. You may contact Rep. Knudson’s office at (888) 529-0030 with questions regarding the sessions.

Representative-Elect Dean Knudson will hold listening sessions in Prescott and Hudson on Wednesday, December 15. Knudson, elected last month to represent the 30th District in the State Assembly, will take office on January 3, 2011. “The focus will be on improving our economic climate”, Knudson said, “Wisconsin can become a magnet for businesses providing high-wage jobs. We need to lower taxes, reduce the regulations, end frivolous lawsuits and concentrate on private-sector job creation.”

The first session will be at Prescott City Hall, 800 Borner Street, from 10 am to Noon. The second session will be at the Hudson Town Hall, 980 County Road A, from 3:00 pm To 5:00 pm. Knudson invites constituents to stop by to discuss the issues and offer suggestions for the coming legislative session.

Want to listen to the question from Ann in Troy about the Equal Pay Act? The question can be found at the 27 minute mark. Don’t believe the distortions being spread by the other side. Listen to Dean’s anwer to the question here: ann-troy-102810

The federal Equal Pay Act has been the law of the land since 1963. This act has been established law for 47 years. Dean supports that law. The question was referring to the Equal Pay Enforcement Act, SB20 from 2009, which was passed by Wisconsin Democrats over bipartisan opposition in 2009, with a vote of 18-15 in the Senate and a vote of 51-47 in the Assembly. No Republican voted in favor of this new law but two Democrats opposed the bill.

Big turnout for candidate forum

Energy filled the room at The Orchard restaurant and banquet hall in Baldwin last night. The large turnout left people standing to listen as candidates fielded questions for about 2 hours. Voters are concerned about the expansion of government, taxes, the economy and jobs. Since the legislature raised taxes by over $5 billion, one of Baldwin’s large employers announced the closure of their Wisconsin plant. Clopay will consolidate their manufacturing jobs in Ohio at the cost of over 300 jobs in our area. People in Baldwin understand too well the negative effects of increasing taxes and regulations.

Our country has suffered the loss of thousands of manufacturing jobs during the current recession. But Wisconsin has lost more than Minnesota. More than Iowa. More than Illinois. Even more than Michigan. In Wisconsin for the first time we now have more government jobs than we have manufacturing jobs! It is time for a new direction in Madison. Lower taxes, more jobs and improved education.
