The Honorable, The Senate:
Pursuant to s.
230.04 (9)(e), Wis. Stats., I am pleased to submit the 2001 Annual Report on Affirmative Action for Wisconsin state Government. The report summarizes the progress in diversity for minorities, women and employees with disabilities.
We are please to report that last year Wisconsin State government had the highest percentage (16.4%) of newly hired minorities in the state's history. This percentage is more than twice the representation of minorities in the general Wisconsin labor force (7.5%).
The report is available on the DER web page:
http://der.state.wi.us/static/EEOAAreport.htm. Please advise members of the Wisconsin Senate of the report's availability. You may contact Pepe Indalecio of the Division of Affirmative Action at 266-6475 if you have any questions or need additional information.
Sincerely,
Peter D. Fox
Secretary
State of Wisconsin
February 1, 2002
The Honorable, The Senate:
Please add my name as a co-sponsor of Senate Joint Resolution 57, relating to urging the Minnesota legislature to continue the income tax reciprocity agreement between Minnesota and Wisconsin.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please don't hesitate to give my office a call at 266-5504. Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Jim Kreuser
State Representative
64th Assembly District
