Treasurer Godlewski Calls on Congress to Pass the Inflation Reduction Act |
|
MADISON, Wis. — This morning at the Madison Labor Temple, Treasurer Godlewski joined advocates from For Our Future-WI, Family Friendly Wisconsin, Opportunity Wisconsin, SEIU-WI, SCFL-Madison, Protect Our Care, and Main Street Alliance to call on Congress to pass the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. “As Wisconsin’s Chief Financial Officer, it’s my job to advocate for the financial security of all Wisconsinites. We know families and small businesses are struggling to keep up with inflation and it’s been incredibly hard to do that as costs are on the rise. That’s why Congress needs to take action now,” said State Treasurer Sarah Godlewski. “This is critical legislation that will not only lower the deficit and address inflation, but make smart investments and save working families money.” The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 would make several critical investments in the healthcare and climate sectors, close tax loopholes for large corporations, and help working families.
“Through this critical bill, Wisconsinites will finally be able to access and afford the health care and prescription drugs they need to stay alive and healthy,” said Peter Drummond, For Our Future Wisconsin State Director. “This bill is the action working families have been asking for, and we urge Congress to pass it swiftly to bring down costs for families.” |
