Mr. Nenno and Mr. Hitt,

Ross Executive Order Information:

Corporal Justin David Ross will not be laid to rest for a few more weeks, because his will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

However, he will be having a memorial service here in Wisconsin on Monday, April 4th. I have attached an example of an executive order for another soldier who was not laid to rest on the same day as his memorial service.

The important thing to note about Cpl. Ross is that his DOD News Release was slightly incorrect. Correction: #1- Ross is a Corporal, not a Specialist (he was posthumously promoted) #2- He was assigned to the 428th Engineer Company, attached to the 863rd Engineer Battalion, Wausau, Wis.

With regards to the number of Executive Orders to bring to the Church for the family meeting: One mounted copy for his parents and two un-mounted copies (one for each of his brothers).

Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Perfect. I just got off the phone with the CAO and he expressed to me that the family would prefer to meet prior to the visitation on Monday, so that should work just fine.

Who would you like me to coordinate with for the proclamation, Bob Nenno or Andrew Hitt?

FYI, still awaiting confirmation on flight arrival time on Sunday.

Does the governor know how he would like to travel to Green Bay? Just wondering in case I need to put in a request for a Blackhawk.

Ladies and gentlemen,

At this time, CPL Ross (posthumously promoted) is still at Dover, AFB. Funeral plans are pending until he returns to Wisconsin. The Casualty Assistance Officer informed me they don't expect to have a funeral service before the middle of next week. Funeral services will take place at First Assembly of God Church in Green Bay.

I'll keep you updated as more information becomes available.

Andrew, At yesterday's meeting you asked about whether there were other laws related to Executive Order 172 and the MOA in addition to the Chapter 111 ones we discussed. There's was a non-statutory provision in 2009 Wisconsin Act 28 that is in the attachment below, 9156(21), which states:

9156(2!) DAY CARE PROVIDER COLLECTIVE BARGAINING.

The tenns of the Memorandum of Agreement between the department of health and family services and the department of workforce development and the Wisconsin Child Care Providers Together, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFSCME Councils 40 and 48, AFL-CIO, entered into on July 21, 2008, remain in effect until the earlier of June 30,2011,

or the date on which a collective bargaining agreement is ratified between an employer under section 111.02 (7) (a) 4. of the statutes, as created by this act, and a labor organization representing employees under section 111.02 (6) (am) of the statutes, as created by this act. Upon ratification of the collective bargaining agreement, the collective bargaining agreement shall supersede the Memorandum of Agreement with regard to wages, hours, and conditions of employment of the employees.

I assume whoever worked on eliminating the employee/employer language in the current budget bill was also aware of this non-statutory provision. I don't know if it was also addressed by the budget bill. Maybe it wasn't worth dealing with because it has an expiration date.

Also, here is an LFB summary of Act 28's Collective Bargaining provisions for day care providers:

LFB Summary of 2009 Wisconsin Act 28:


Chapter 111 (Employment Relations), a single collective bargaining unit for a certified or licensed day care provider who provides care and supervision for not more than eight children who are not related to the day care provider.

The terms of the Memorandum Of Agreement between the department of health and family services and the department of workforce development and the Wisconsin Child Care Providers Together, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFSCME Councils 40 and 48, AFL-CIO, entered into on July 21, 2008, remain in effect until the earlier of June 30,2011, or the date on which a collective bargaining agreement is ratified between an employer under section 111.02 (7) (a) 4. of the statutes, as created by this act, and a labor organization representing employees under section 111.02 (6) (am) of the statutes, as created by this act. Upon ratification of the collective bargaining agreement, the collective bargaining agreement shall supersede the Memorandum of Agreement with regard to wages, hours, and conditions of employment of the employees.

I assume whoever worked on eliminating the employee/employer language in the current budget bill was also aware of this non-statutory provision. i don't know if it was also addressed by the budget bill. Maybe it wasn't worth dealing with because it has an expiration date.


LFB Summary of2009 Wisconsin Act 28:


Chapter 111 (Employment Relations), a single collective bargaining unit for a certified or licensed day care provider who provides care and supervision for not more than eight children who are not related to the day care provider. Include a certified or licensed day care provider who provides care and supervision for not more than eight children who are not related to the day care provider in the definition of employee under Subchapter I. With respect to such day care providers, define the employer as the state, counties, and other administrative entities involved in regulation and subsidization of the day care providers. Modify the definitions in Subchapter I of "fair-share agreement," "maintenance of membership agreement," and "referendum" to reflect the inclusion of such day care providers and the labor organization representing them.

Andrew,

I know we are going to provide you a Flood Planning Brief on Thursday but I wanted to give you an update. The weather conditions are ideal so far. We do have some areas of concern along the Mississippi that we will talk about on Thursday; however, we are only looking at the potential for "moderate" flooding along the river.

Cc: Jensen, Susan; McGhee, Jean; Stack, Christine Subject: Recoupment letters

Starting today, March 16, FEMA will begin sending out Notice of Debt letters to disaster assistance applicants who received improper federal disaster assistance payments. FEMA will send letters from the most recent disasters first. These letters will inform applicants of the amount and reason for their debt, and provide information on how to repay the debt or appeal FEMA's determination.

Regional Administrator Velasquez sent each of the State Directors a breakdown by state and county of recoupment cases. I have attached a plain-language list of recoupment reasons. Additional information outlining our new and improved recoupment process for improperly distributed or overpaid disaster assistance funds can be found in Federal Register Notice Document Number 2011-6036 (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg!FR-2011-03-15/html/2011-6036.htm).

1

At FEMA we are committed to being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars, and we have been actively working to recoup misspent funds, while continuing to support communities as they recover. As a recent Inspector General audit reinforced, FEMA and other federal agencies are required by law to recoup funds that are paid in error.

We are on track to begin our new recoupment process in the coming days, which will be another important step toward protecting our tax dollars, while ensuring that those in need are receiving assistance as quickly as possible. Our priority is to make sure this new effort is one that operates in the best interests of both taxpayers and disaster survivors.

The Regions are working with Headquarters to provide additional information. Below you will find an overview of the Recoupment process:

• As reviews are completed, Notice of Debt letters will be sent to those applicants who must return funds that were improperly provided or overpaid. FEMA will mail letters on a rolling basis beginning March 16, 2011. Each letter will inform the applicant that they must return improperly awarded funds and will outline the specific reason(s) for the improper payment, while providing a detailed explanation of the appeals and repayment processes.

• Individuals who receive a Notice of Debt may choose one of the following options: o Pay the amount owed in full. o Request a copy of their FEMA records for inspection or review and/or to file an appeal within 60

days. o If applicants choose to file an appeal, they submit a written request for an oral hearing as

part of that appeal. Cases which raise issues of truth, veracity or other appealable concerns and cannot be resolved using documentary evidence will be granted an oral hearing. FEMA will make a decision on their appeal and send them a follow-up letter explaining the basis of the decision along with a description of the next steps in the process.

o If individuals choose not to file an appeal or they file an appeal and it is denied, applicants will have the opportunity to request a payment plan and/or a waiver or compromise of the debt based on inability to pay. ·

• FEMA is committed to working with all individuals identified for potential recoupment to ensure they have a complete understanding of the determination made in their case and the various options available to them to resolve this debt. If an individual has immediate questions about their case, they may contact FEMA's Recoupment Helpline at 1-800-816-1122 or TTY at 1-800-462-7585 for persons who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing or those with speech disabilities, between the hours of9:00 a.m. and 8:00p.m. EST, Monday through Friday.

• The letters that FEMA is sending will explain that the applicant has received funds from FEMA that needs to be repaid. The letter also explains why the applicant has to pay back the money, and the applicant's right to appeal the decision.

Headquarters and the Regions are working on providing additional clarification IF AQs regarding the recoupments and I hope to share that information with you soon.

Additional information outlining our new and improved recoupment process for improperly distributed or overpaid disaster assistance funds can be found in Federal Register Notice Document Number 2011-6036 (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-03-15/html/20 11-6036.htm).

At FEMA we are committed to being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars, and we have been actively working to recoup misspent funds, while continuing to support communities as they recover. As a recent Inspector General audit reinforced, FEMA and other federal agencies are required by law to recoup funds that are paid in error.

We are on track to begin our new recoupment process in the coming days, which will be another important step toward protecting our tax dollars, while ensuring that those in need are receiving assistance as quickly as possible. Our priority is to make sure this new effort is one that operates in the best interests of both taxpayers and disaster survivors.

The Regions are working with Headquarters to provide additional information. Below you will find an overview of the Recoupment process:

• As reviews are completed, Notice of Debt letters will be sent to those applicants who must return funds that were improperly provided or overpaid. FEMA will mail letters on a rolling basis beginning March 16, 2011. Each letter will inform the applicant that they must return improperly awarded funds and will outline the specific reason(s) for the improper payment, while providing a detailed explanation of the appeals and repayment processes.

• Individuals who receive a Notice of Debt may choose one ofthe following options: o Pay the amount owed in full. o Request a copy of their FEMA records for inspection or review and/or to file an appeal within 60

days. o If applicants choose to file an appeal, they submit a written request for an oral hearing as

part of that appeal. Cases which raise issues of truth, veracity or other appealable concerns and caunot be resolved using documentary evidence will be granted an oral hearing. FEMA will make a decision on their appeal and send them a follow-up letter explaining the basis of the. decision along with a description of the next steps in the process.

o If individuals choose not to file an appeal or they file an appeal and it is denied, applicants will have the opportunity to request a payment plan and/or a waiver or compromise of the debt based on inability to pay.

• FEMA is committed to working with all individuals identified for potential recoupment to ensure they have a complete understanding of the determination made in their case and the various options available to them to resolve this debt. If an individual has immediate questions about their case, they may contact FEMA's Recoupment Helpline at 1-800-816-1122 or TTY at 1-800-462-7585 for persons who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing or those with speech disabilities, between the hours of9:00 a.m. and 8:00p.m. EST, Monday through Friday.

2

• The letters that FEMA is sending will explain that the applicant has received funds from FEMA that needs to be repaid. The letter also explains why the applicant has to pay back the money, and the applicant's right to appeal the decision.

Headquarters and the Regions are working on providing additional clarification I F AQs regarding the recoupments and I hope to share that information with you soon.

Walker Forced to Stop Using Union Image by Legal Threat

In an attempt to mislead the public, Walker now faces legal repercussions for misuse of AFL-CIO logo

Gov. Walker continues to show that he believes himself to be above the law. On his "Governor Scott Walker, Public Figure" Face Book page Walker proudly displayed the AFL-CIO logo in an attempt to trick the public into thinking that the AFL-CIO has endorsed his extreme anti-worker policies.

Today the Governor was delivered a letter from Trister, Ross, Schadler & Gold, PLLC law office to immediately "cease and desist from any and all unauthorized uses of the AFL-CIO name and marks."

· Click here to view a copy of the letter.

"This is a clear show of disrespect for the AFL-CIO and the 250,000 working families it represents" said Phil Neuenfeldt, President of the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO. "When will Walker's ditty trickery end?"

2

"I am beyond appalled that the Gov. would think that the misuse of the AFL-CIO logo is appropriate. Fool me once, fool me twice but you will not fool the Wisconsin public for a third time," said Stephanie Bloomingdale, Secretary-Treasurer ofthe Wisconsin State AFL-CIO. "How dare Scott Walker use the AFL-CIO logo which belongs to America's union members."

The image which has since been taken down is attached but not before it was "the picture of the day" in the Atlantic.

Andrew, see the thread below. Figures into the issues we met about; been laying the foundation for a few years now.

Starting with FY07 I started defunding local Councils and funding state wide efforts to prepare citizens and manage volunteers. Local councils were doing little more than meeting and complaining about the lack of funding. CERT dollars are still going to CERT and expanded trainings and building greater capacity more on a "regional" basis.

We are encouraging VOAD driven organizations and activities on an increasing number. These require little or no federal· funds and encompass a broader range of capacity and efficiencies for emergency management.

It might be suggested to the folks at HQ to allow the registration of capacities rather than how many government centric organizations are established without regard for sustainability. Registering this way gives them a better picture of progress.

Any subsequent registrations in Wisconsin will probably come from a VOAD that incorporates CERT in their repertoire.

Hanneken - IL; Walter, Dennis (DPS) Cc: Opoka, James; Duncan, James Subject: Re-registration update Importance: High

Hi, All, please get back to me with any issues that stand in your way of completing re-registration by the 3/30 deadline. HQ has found fewer re-registrations than the previously registered numbers. One reason that HQ came up

1

with is that previously, CERT teams registered and now we have CERT programs ---so there will be fewer than the original numbers. As for Councils, states are getting more discriminating as to the construct of a council-so that may be the reason for fewer. I would be interested in your experience. As always with everything that you do, I want to thank you superstars for the good work you have done. I reviewed the latest report and these are our numbers as of 3/14. Your thoughts please:

HQ asked thatlsimd this follow/nq: The deadline for Citizen Corps Council and CERT Program Registration is two weeks away/ Now is the time to push hard on local Councils and CERT Programs to either start or continue with the registration process. One area of weakness we have overall as a Region is not with pending submissions but with Councifs/CERT Programs that have started the registration process but not yet submitted. FEMA Individual and Community Preparedness Division support contractor, ICF Macro, was making calls to essentially achieve the same goal- to encourage participation among Councils and CERT Programs at various stages in the registration submission process. For your convenience, I'll be following up shortly to send contact information for Councils and CERT Programs in your State that have started but not yet submitted their registration proft1e should you want to contact that individual to remind them of the upcoming March 3dh deadline.

Currently FEMA Region IX is in the lead for most registered CERT Programs AND Mii(il&Ji%MQM411¥Q;W1fill1Q4f.Pilliii11Wi ma!. . .... - ...... . .. . The State of California is still in the lead with the 192 registered CERT Programs and /1/lnois is also still in the lead with the 77 registered Councils. Congratulations! I I

This week we've provided some additional information included in the tables below. These tables indicate the percentage of submissions, by Region, that have been approved or denied out of the total number of incoming submissions (excluding the CC/CERTs that have not yet submitted). These rates are really great! Congratulations to Region VII States with an almost petfect rate of approvals/denials!

Yes, my analysis below would apply to SB 4.

Hi Rob:

You've asked whether an expansion of the refundable individual income, and corporate income and franchise, enterprise zone jobs credit (ss. 71.07 (3w), 71.28 (3w), and 71.47 (3w), stats.) would be subject to the 3/5 quorum requirement under Article VIII, section 8 of the Wisconsin Constitution. I believe that such an expansion of the credit would be subject to Article VIII, section 8.

This tax credit is funded by a sum sufficient general fund appropriation under s. 20.835 (2) (co), stats. Any expansion of the credit would almost certainly require DOA to pay by check additional claims from that appropriation to an eligible claimant. For example, sees. 71.07 (3w) (c) 1.

Article VIII, section 8 of the Wisconsin Constitution states, in part, that " ... any law which ... continues ... an appropriation of public ... money ... " is subject to the 3/5 quorum requirement. It seems to me that a bill which would continue, and likely expand, payments from a general fund appropriation to claimants of this tax credit clearly falls within the plain language of this constitutional provision and is thus subject to the 3/5 quorum requirement.

Please let me know if you have any other questions about this issue.

I just spotted this. Just a heads up in case you were not aware of the new suits.

Bill

Ehlke, Bero-Lehmann & Lounsbury: City of Madison employees file suit declaring Act 10 "budget repair bill" unconstitutional 4/1/2011

Contact: Bruce F. Ehlke Phone: 608-827~9750

Suit A!feges Acl Violates Equal Protection and Freedom of Speech end Association

Yesterday, through their attorneys, Ehlke, Bero-Lehmann & Lounsbury, S.C., several labor unions representing employees of the City of Madison and nearby municipalities filed In Dane County Circuit Court the first legal challenge to the substance of the so-celled 'Budget Repair Bill."

The Plaintiffs in the case include Laborers local 236, Firef~ghters local311, AFSCME local60 and an individually named plaintiff, Jamie O'Brien, who is a member of the Laborers Union. The sult was brought against both the State of Wisconsin and Governor Scott Walker. Circuit Court Judge Peter Anderson has been assigned to the case.

In the lawsuit, lhe Plaintiffs request that the court find Act 10 unconstitutional and therefore declare It null and void. The lawsuit asserts that the Act Impermissibly infringes on employees' constitutionally protected rights to equal protec!lon and freedom of speech and association.

EQUAL PROTECTION: The lawsuit asserts that many of the limitations Imposed on employees who are in a unions do not apply to employees who are not in a union. It also treats members of some unions differenlly.than members of other unions.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND ASSOCIATION: The lawsuit further alleges that Act10 imposes an impermissible burden on municipal employees' abil!ty to exercise their cons!ltu!lonal right to associate and assemble, and to express their views in concert with one another, and to petition their State and local governments regarding matters that are of mutual concern to them.

STATEMENT ON THIS LAWSUIT: Plaintiffs' attorney, Bruce Ehlke, said, "Wisconsin has a long and admirable history of encouraging labor and managemenl peace through collective bargaining. Even before public sector unions were granted the statutory right to bargain, public employers and employees in fact engaged in an early form of collective bargaining known as •meet and confer. This Act sets Wisconsin's labor rela!lons back 80 years.

"Employers in Wisconsin have long benefitted from the certainty and stability afforded to them through collective bargaining agreements. During the last several weeks, the support of public employers for collective bargaining has become obvious, as municipalities across the stale have sccambled to gel new and extended agreements Into effect before the enactment of this Act, in order to preserve their ability to operate with a full contract in place for as long as possible.

"Regardless of how individuals feel about the level of compensation and benefits received by public sector employees, it Is without a doubt 111at those employees, citizens of our state, are entlt!ed to equal protec!lon and freedom of association, and this Act improperly attempts to strip public sector workers of those rights.

Hi,

This EO does not seem different with regard to an extended period of time before he is laid to rest. Did you intend a different example.

Also, do they want the Executive order or the proclamation? My guess is the proclamation.

At this time, CPL Ross (posthumously promoted) is still at Dover, AFB. Funeral plans are pending until he returns to Wisconsin. The Casualty Assistance Officer informed me they don't expect

to have a funeral service before the middle of next week. Funeral services will take place at First Assembly of God Church in Green Bay.

Hi,

This EO does not seem different with regard to an extended period of time before he is laid to rest. Did you intend a different example.

Also, do they want the Executive order or the proclamation? My guess is the proclamation.

The important thing to note about Cpl. Ross is that his DOD News Release was slightly incorrect. Correction: #1- Ross is a Corporal, not a Specialist (he was posthumously promoted) #2- He was assigned to the 428th Engineer Company, attached to the 863rd Engineer Battalion, Wausau, Wis.

Andrew, At yesterday's meeting you asked about whether there were other laws related to Executive Order 172 and the MOA in addition to the Chapter 111 ones we discussed. There's was a non-statutory provision in 2009 Wisconsin Act 28 that is in the attachment below, 9156(21:), which states:

9156(2±) DAY CARE PROVIDER COLLECTIVE BARGAINING.

The te1ms of the Memorandum of Agreement between the department of health and family services and the department of workforce development and the Wisconsin Child Care Providers Together, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFSCME Councils 40 and 48, AFL-CIO, entered into on July 21, 2008, remain in effect until the earlier of June 30, 2011, or the date on which a collective bargaining agreement is ratified between an employer under section 111.02 (7) (a) 4. of the statutes, as created by this act, and a labor organization representing employees under section 111.02 (6) (am) of the statutes, as created by this act. Upon ratification of the collective bargaining agreement, the collective bargaining agreement shall supersede the Memorandum of Agreement with regard to wages, hours, and conditions of employment of the employees.

At yesterday's meeting you asked about whether there were other laws related to Executive Order 172 and the MOA in addition to the Chapter 111 ones we discussed. There's was a non-statutory provision in 2009 Wisconsin Act 28 that is in the attachment below, 9156(2f), which states:

9156(2!) DAY CARE PROVIDER COLLECTIVE BARGAINING.

The terms of the Memorandum of Agreement between the department of health and family services and the department of workforce development and the Wisconsin Child Care Providers Together, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFSCME Councils 40 and 48, AFL-CIO, entered into on July 21, 2008, remain in effect until the earlier of June 30, 2011, or the date on which a collective bargaining agreement is ratified between an employer under section 111.02 (7) (a) 4. of the statutes, as created by this act, and a labor organization representing employees under section 111.02 (6) (am) of the statutes, as created by this act. Upon ratification of the collective bargaining agreement, the collective bargaining agreement shall supersede the Memorandum of Agreement with regard to wages, hours, and conditions of employment of the employees.
