'The Republicans could decide at any point that they are ready to get this money into the hands of the local communities who have been most affected by #PFAS contamination & they just refuse to do so.'
- Sen. Kelda Roys on WKOW 27 News Capital City Sunday.

Republican lawmakers are still sitting on $125 million to clean up PFAS contamination endangering Wisconsin drinking water. Joint Finance Cmte member Sen. Kelda Roys has been warning for nearly a year that the GOP would only pretend to allocate PFAS money.
Nearly 11 months since Sen. Kelda Roys warned the PFAS trust fund was imaginary without JFC GOP approval. Our colleagues are still living in pure imagination. No remediation for Wisconsinites if Republicans refuse to provide the DNR with resources to serve the people.
Families across our state are at risk every time they get a drink of water or give their baby a bath--they deserve elected officials who put their needs ahead of corporate polluters.
WI Republicans need to stop playing games, and help Governor Tony Evers get the PFAS out of our water.
Speaker Vos and Legislative Republicans are choosing to utilize the Universities of Wisconsin (Old), Senate confirmation authority, and people’s paychecks as pawns to stoke the flames of their unpopular culture wars. Read Senate Democrats’ full statement ⬇️⬇️⬇️
