LATEST NEWS DEMOCRATS AND THEIR ALLIES PUT POLITICS BEFORE PEOPLE, JOBS MADISON–Governor Walker’s office issued the following statement today after a letter between public sector union bosses was uncovered that shows public sector union leaders more interested in scoring political points than protecting their member’s jobs or the taxpayers. The letter comes days after State Senate Democrats unanimously voted against a mining bill, endorsed by private sector unions, which could create thousands of family supporting Wisconsin jobs. GOV. WALKER ANNOUNCES PLANS TO GROW WISCONSIN DAIRY MADISON– Governor Walker announced today his plan to strengthen the Wisconsin’s dairy industry through the Grow Wisconsin Dairy 30x20 program at the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP). “The goal of the Grow Wisconsin Dairy 30x20 program is to improve the long-term viability of Wisconsin’s dairy industry through services to achieve an annual milk production of 30 billion pounds by 2020 to meet the growing demand of the marketplace,” said Governor Scott Walker. “In 2011, Wisconsin produced 26.1 billion pounds of milk, a growth of less than 1 percent. Our state’s dairy processors need more milk to keep up with the consumer demand from around the world for our award-winning cheeses. The Grow Wisconsin Dairy Team is prepared to assist dairy farmers to make that happen.” More News
