8-14-23 ripon area league of women voters legislative update

Wisconsin State Senator Joan Ballweg (District 14) will be the featured speaker on August 16, 2023, at 7:00pm join the League of Women Voters of the Ripon Area. The event
will be held in the Council Chambers of the City of Ripon Building 100 Jackson Street, Ripon,  WI. The event will also be caried on the  Ripon Channel YouTube page. The event is free, and the public is encouraged to attend as the League begins our annual programing to help citizens better understand the function and roles of government at both the state and local levels.  Both Assembly members Alex Dallman and Jon Plumer were invited to participate in a panel discussion on the work of the Legislature and both declined for different reasons. Senator Ballweg will discuss both committee work and legislative work as major changes have occurred in the areas of shared revenue as well as advisory resolutions from local municipalities.   The League of Women Voters, a non-partisan political organization, encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. The League was founded in 1920 by Carrie Chapman Catt who was born in Ripon, Wisconsin.   For more information on local the League of Women Voters of the Ripon area please visit our Facebook page, email lwvriponarea@gmail.com or call Ellen Sorensen at 920.960.3397.
