spoonsored by Representatives Sinicki, Richards, Kessler, Toles, Young and Grigsby, and cosponsored by Senator Taylor.

Below is a list of Milwaukee area representatives who are on that committee. Please call and email the following reps, and let them know that you support the bill! Your call will be doubly effective if they represent you in the Assembly.

Tell them that you want Rep. Sinicki's parks bill before the Assembly for a vote! They all sit on the Ways and Means Committee, and they can help make that happen. Use every persuasive power you have, and above all please be polite to them and their staff.

Thank you for all of your effort. With your help and good words, we can get this bill passed and ensure a positive future for Milwaukee County's parks.
