October 20, 2023 – Washington Co, WI – State Senator Dan Knodl (R–Germantown) and the Senate Committee on Shared Revenue, Elections, and Consumer Protection heard public testimony this week at a hearing on Senate Bill 488/Assembly Bill 415. This legislation ensures the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau, will draw the legislative maps.
“Our state is continually bogged down with litigation and uncertainty regarding legislative redistricting in the courts. This bill will eliminate these burdensome costs and dilatory actions. Democrats and Republicans should come together to take this divisive issue off the table and prove to the people of Wisconsin that we can govern effectively together.
“This bill would provide what Democrats have been proclaiming they wanted for the past 10 years. The Iowa model works, and today’s hearing was an important step toward passing this bipartisan legislation.”
