Voces protests removal of immigrant-centered policies from state budget by Republicans
The Wisconsin State Capitol was closed to the public for more than a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It only took four days after reopening for Republicans in the Legislature to draw a large group of protesters to the hallway outside the Joint Finance Committee meeting (JFC).
On Wednesday, JFC co-chairs Sen. Howard Marklein (R-Spring Green) and Rep. Mark Born (R-Beaver Dam) released their plan to gut hundreds of items from Gov. Tony Evers’ budget proposal among them, provisions that would have restored access to driver’s licenses and state IDs for immigrants and provided tuition aid for immigrant students at Wisconsin universities.

Moore Omokunde was elected to Crowley’s former seat as Representative of State Assembly District 17 in November. He resigned his seat on the County Board December 18th.
Moore Omokunde has been on the board since 2015, serving on a handful of committees. In a statement, he said he was “especially proud” of the county’s declaration of racism as a public health crisis and “the numerous resolutions and ordinance changes that have come from that declaration.”
Since 2016, he served as chair of the Health and Human Needs Committee, where he led the board’s effort in providing oversight of and crafting the county’s policy for youth detention. In that role, he was outspoken about the need to reform the way young people and children are cared for by the justice system and was an advocate for keeping kids in Milwaukee, closer to home when they are in the juvenile justice system.
