Thanks to @rob_summerfield for his help with our push to continue expanding #ruralbroadband!
It's always a great day for #ruralbroadband investment! Congrats to the team at Bloomer Telephone Company for extending their #fibernetwork in rural @DunnCountyEDC. More than 300 homes, farms & businesses in Colfax will benefit from the fiber-fed broadband. #buildbroadbandwithus
The announcement of a public-private partnership in Wisconsin is great news. This will not only rapidly expand our testing capacity, but improve the speed at which we process tests. Both are critical to our effort to defeat this virus. wisconsinhealthnews.com/2020/03/30/par…
Wisconsinites are lifting each other up and providing support across the state to one another in unique ways. How are you helping? Tell us about it using #HowWiHelp
Hey WI, what acts of hope, help and kindness have you done/seen in #Wisconsin communities? Join the #HowWiHelp movement to share good-spirited things happening across WI. Share your photos with #HowWiHelp. 🙏 #SaferAtHome #COVID19
WSTA is proud to partner with @NTCAconnect and @sbloomfield15 on issue important to #ruralbroadband providers. #KeepAmericansConnected #DistanceLearning #Telehealth #telecommuting #StaySafeStayHome
The need for connectivity for rural Americans, rural students, rural workers, rural health care has never been more important. We need to ensure that folks can stay connected even when incomes are lost. #ActNow thehill.com/blogs/congress…
If you can find the time to get away, breathe easy this weekend in nature, friends. Your mind and body need it.
We're hearing some pesky rumors. Let's do some COVID-19 myth-busting. ✔️ Wisconsin state parks and trails are open to the public. Buildings are closed, though, with the exception of some restrooms. ✔️ Admission to state parks and trails is voluntary at this time.
The Keep Americans Connected Pledge asks internet providers to refrain from terminating service to residential or small business customers who can’t pay their bills and waive late fees. Almost 400 companies have taken the pledge, @AjitPaiFCC says. wbur.org/hereandnow/202…
@AjitPaiFCC @BillEsbeck @FCC A great reminder - lots of fantastic resources out there!

(1 of 2)From the @RedCross “Right now, the Red Cross is experiencing blood drive cancellations like no other time in recent history and their inventory is at critical levels. Their sites are taking extra precautions to make sure giving blood is safe.
.@AjitPaiFCC on Friday urged broadband and telephone service providers to take the Keep Americans Connected Pledge. #broadband #coronavirus broadbandbreakfast.com/2020/03/corona…
“Reliable access to #broadband is no longer a luxury but a necessity for farmers, ranchers and their rural communities” ow.ly/hx2i50yEMSt
A great day for #ruralbroadband expansion in Wisconsin! Thank you @SenMarklein and @RepQuinn for authoring AB 344, which @GovEvers signed into law as 2019 Wisconsin Act 128. #buildbroadbandwithus wispolitics.com/wp-content/upl…
From urban neighborhoods to rural communities, mixed-used development is critical to advancing economic activity and growth. Join us at the NDC instructed Mixed-Use Real Estate Finance Seminar to learn more... lnkd.in/e_b6ECK
A great way to build a career!
#CareerTechEd preps students for in demand careers and the salaries for most programs reflect that. Assoc. degree holders starting out (2018) earn $43,678 median (meaning half earn more). Apprentices (2018) earn $88,344 median. bit.ly/2EkgD4A #cteworks
Now we need to go beyond just throwing cash at the problem, and address costs to solve the last mile problem in rural areas. That’s why @RepQuinn and @SenMarklein passed a bill to end a tax on small local providers, making it more cost-effective to deploy!
This year, Wisconsin will provide a record $24 million for broadband internet in underserved areas of the state through a grant program, but it received double that amount in requests. buff.ly/38o0Qyz
Great WIN for our farmers!
Agriculture is a pillar of Wisconsin's economy and part of the heritage of our state. The Assembly passed a plan that helps our farmers in the short-term and lays the groundwork for the future. #WIFarmers
On to the Governor's desk!
Thank you @SenFitzgerald and @SenMarklein for your leadership and commitment to #ruralbroadband expansion. With at 33-0 roll call vote, the Senate passed AB 344, which creates property tax exemptions for rural broadband investments. #buildbroadbandwithus wispolitics.com/2020/wsta-appl…
Human trafficking must be addressed in our communities - too many missing and murdered indigenous women, children, and men. #SOTA2020
Fantastic idea - rural students can build great careers while staying in the communities they love. Hope to see this program thrive!
The Board of Regents has approved the creation of a 12-course, 34-credit online master’s program in cybersecurity — a collaborative effort by UW-L, UW Extended Campus and seven other universities in the system. lacrossetribune.com/news/local/edu…
Ringberg said goal of communities working together is to pursue a "scattered" housing devel. spanning multiple sites rather than 1 large project....developers are often wary of pursuing smaller developments where they may be unable to recover costs. #Workforcehousing #LocalGov
