#FightFraudWI

EU2

Since taking office, it’s been a top priority to save taxpayer money – but I can’t do it alone. The Office of Inspector General (OIG) at the Department of Health Services (DHS) helps prevent fraud and improves our public assistance programs. The bottom line is OIG saves the state, and more importantly, you, money.

In Wisconsin, the amount of fraud has decreased and the savings have increased since creating OIG. That’s why tomorrow, I’m traveling to Green Bay and Sturtevant to honor the great work of OIG, which continues to fight fraud in Wisconsin and ensure government services are effective, efficient, and accountable to Wisconsin’s citizens.


11 Bills for Zero Overdoses

EU1


Like many other states throughout the nation, Wisconsin is experiencing a growing number of cases of opioid overdoses. In fact, in 2014, we lost 843 lives to opioid abuse – that’s 843 too many.

That’s why I signed 11 bills into law earlier this week as part of the Heroin and Opioid Prevention and Education (H.O.P.E) Agenda to address the opioid epidemic head-on.

As a parent, I understand the safety of your children and communities is the most important thing in the world, which is why we’re continuing to work with the Opioid Abuse Task Force to stop opioid abuse in Wisconsin once and for all.
