You will find members of the Wisconsin Assembly heading back to their home districts after completing their final day on Thursday. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos called the session incredibly productive, citing the budget passage, increases in funding for local communities, and multiple tax cuts as some of the successes. Rep. Joel Kitchens is especially proud of the tax cut legislation they were able to get to Governor Tony Evers’ desk, especially those that benefit senior citizens and child-care dependent parents.

The end of the session does not mean members of the Assembly were able to accomplish everything they wanted to do. Kitchens says he will be keeping an eye on several bills waiting for Senate passage, including one that would legalize medical marijuana.

While the Assembly was adjourned until after the fall election, the Wisconsin State Senate seemed poised to return to Madison next month to finish their duties.
