The Honorable, The Legislature:
Pursuant to s.
46.76(5), Wis. Stats., I am pleased to provide you with a copy of
Hunger Prevention in Wisconsin. This report was developed to be in compliance with the requirements of
1993 Wisconsin Act 168 which established a Board on Hunger charged with developing an annual plan "that documents areas of hunger and populations experiencing hunger within these areas and populations." According to the legislation, the report is to be submitted to the Governor, the Secretary, the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the appropriate standing committees of the state legislature.
The attached report acknowledges that Wisconsin continues to be a national leader with a healthy economy and low unemployment. Participation in the largest government food assistance program, the food stamp program, has declined. There are some signs however, that hunger and food insecurity exist for some Wisconsin residents. Evidence of this lies in the increase in demand for emergency food assistance in food pantries and soup kitchens in both rural and urban areas of our state.
The State Hunger Prevention Grants authorized in
1993 Wisconsin Act 168 have permitted local groups to develop some innovative responses to local hunger problems. Activities, which maximize contributions from many different sources and which, allow for a comprehensive integrated approach have the best chance of success. The report includes a set of recommendations that can serve as an agenda for future leaders in hunger prevention. As recommended, an Advisory Council on Hunger Prevention with leadership provided from both the private and public sectors could provide leadership for the implementation of these recommendations.
Sincerely,
Susan N. Dreyfus
Administrator
Chair, Board on Hunger

We are pleased to submit to you, the Recycling Market Development Board quarterly report for January through March 1998. We have been remiss in getting the past quarterly reports to the legislature in a timely fashion, due to the changes that have taken place in our Board's activities.

To meet this statutory requirement, the Recycling Market Development Board will submit to the Senate Chief Clerk and the Assembly Chief Clerk according to the following timeline:
First Quarter (January - March): Submit by April 30
Second Quarter (April - June) Submit by July 31
Third Quarter (July - September) Submit by October 31
Fourth Quarter (October - December) Submit by January 31
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to update you on the Recycling Market Development Board activities. We hope this report will answer any questions you may have, as well as demonstrate the accomplishments we have made in our constant efforts to develop and sustain recycling markets in Wisconsin.

The Honorable, The Senate:
Enclosed please find the Miller Park monthly progress report for the month of March 1998 for your review and consideration.
We initiated the erection of the structural steel frame for Miller Park in March, placing nearly 600 tons of structural steel in the framework of the ballpark's home plate area. We also started placing the structural precast concrete seating bowl sections at field level. Our site work continued to focus on the reconstruction of USH 41 and the development of interim roads, ramps, and parking areas for Opening Day 1998.
As we have consistently stated, we are proud to report that Miller Park continues to develop as a quality facility, on time, within budget and with strong local participation.
Please feel free to contact me if you should have any questions or comments regarding the enclosed progress report.
Sincerely,
Michael r. duckett, p.e.,r.l.s.
