MONROE - State Sen. Dale Schultz, R-Richland Center, is looking for a few good citizens to help determine Wisconsin public policy.
The state Legislature is forming new studies, to include legislators and citizen members with relevant experience or expertise.
Schultz says having citizens help write state law one is of Wisconsin's progressive traditions. He has nominated from the region several citizens who have played key roles on past committees.
As Senate majority leader in 2006, Schultz formed a committee that studied the state school aid formula. Two citizens he nominated ensured small rural schools had a voice at the table. In fact, they advocated for concepts that became provisions to shape the current state budget.
The Legislature has selected committees on 12 issue areas this year. Positions available for citizens varies by committee.
Schultz wants this region represented. Anyone interested in serving on a committee can contact him through e-mail at sen.schultz@legis.wi.gov or call his office at (800) 978-8008. Links to the committees, plus other information, are available on Schultz's Web site: ww.senatordaleschutz.com
The Joint Legislative Council approved the following special committees for the 2008 interim:
• Building Wisconsin's Workforce
• Differences in Laws Applicable to Cities and Villages
• Domestic Biofuels
• Emergency Management and Continuity of Government
• Enhancing Recreational Trails for Non-Motorized Use
• High-Risk Juvenile Offenders
• Law Revision Committee
• Performance-Based Disease Management Programs for Large Populations
• Regional Transportation Authority
• School Safety
• State-Tribal Relations
• Strengthening Wisconsin Families
