Cosponsor LRBs 2648 & 2519: Best Practices for Hunter Safety
Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to support LRBs 2648 & 2519, which are circulating for co-sponsorship.
Comprehensive hunter education programs ensure that every Wisconsinite has access to the same information about hunter safety and ethics-related responsibilities. LRBs 2648 & 2519 would require the DNR to offer in-person field training for Wisconsinites under 18 who wish to receive their hunter education certification. This is an important addition to current requirements, and will help ensure every hunter is proficient in safety and ethics practices critical to maintaining our sporting heritage.
Oppose AB 141: Restricting the Transition to Clean, Cost-Efficient Appliances
Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose AB 141, which is before the Assembly on Tuesday.
To make our air cleaner to breathe and help save Wisconsinites money on their utility bills, we need to support the transition to cleaner, more cost-efficient electric appliances. AB 141 would work against this transition by prohibiting state agencies and local communities from phasing out the use of dirty, gas-powered appliances.
Oppose AB 142: Restricting the Transition to Clean Transportation
Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose AB 142, which is before the Assembly on Tuesday.
To make our air cleaner to breathe and help combat climate change, we need to quickly transition to clean transportation. AB 142 would work against this transition by prohibiting state agencies and local communities from phasing out the use of dirty, gas-powered vehicles.
