WI JOBS NOW Task Force Announces Roundtable at BioResearch Inc. in Brown DeerSecond discussion follows successful roundtable in Green Bay [Madison, Wisc…] Sen. Randy Hopper (R-Fond du Lac) and Rep. Rich Zipperer (R-Pewaukee) today announced that the WISCONSIN JOBS NOW Task Force will hold a roundtable discussion on March 23rd at BioResearch, Inc. in Brown Deer. It will be the second in a series of roundtable discussions the Task Force is conducting across Wisconsin. “We were very encouraged by the enthusiastic response to our first roundtable discussion in Green Bay,” Hopper said. “Southeast Wisconsin is in many ways the economic engine of the entire state, so our roundtable in Brown Deer will be critical to identifying the solutions needed to restart our economy.” “Job creators know best what works to grow their business and our economy,” said Zipperer. “We heard great testimony and ideas from the Green Bay business community, and we look forward to hearing from Milwaukee and the rest of the state as well. We can’t fix this economy without first hearing from and listening to the actual job creators.” The Task Force will be moderated by Hopper and Zipperer. Additional legislators from around the state will serve as contributing members to the Task Force. Serving as employer representatives to the Task Force will be Mike Savignac, President of PDQ Manufacturing in De Pere; John Radke, President of BioResearch, Inc. in Brown Deer; and Ed Schafer, President and CEO of Silver Spring Gardens, Inc. in Eau Claire. Representatives from the non-partisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau will also attend all roundtable discussions to advise the Task Force on budgetary issues. The Task Force seeks input from job creators on the best measures for improving the economy with potential topics to include tax reform, regulatory reform, health care reform, and the impacts of recently passed tax and spending measures on Wisconsin’s job climate. Job providers are asked to attend the nearest roundtable discussion. If they cannot attend, they are asked to submit testimony via the WISCONSIN JOBS NOW website www.wisconsinjobsnow.info.
