SPOONER, WI (DrydenWire) — Wisconsin State Senator Romaine Quinn joined Ben Dryden live this morning on DrydenWire’s Facebook page for a wide-ranging conversation covering several major issues unfolding at the Capitol this week. The full episode is now available to watch on DrydenWire’s YouTube channel and will be embedded below.
Today’s discussion followed a busy legislative week in Madison, with lawmakers in session addressing multiple high-impact bills. Senator Quinn walked viewers through key votes and policy debates currently shaping Wisconsin’s political landscape.
A central focus of the conversation was Quinn’s recent press release titled “Quinn Votes To Reverse Evers 400-Year Property Tax Increase.” Quinn explained the Senate action taken to protect taxpayers, stating the move was designed to prevent what he called a “400-year property tax increase” from taking effect.
Senator Quinn also elaborated on two additional components of the Senate session highlighted in his press release:
- Ensuring abuse of children is reported to authorities — strengthening protections and clarifying mandatory reporting expectations.
- Bringing clarity to the definition of abortion in state law — an effort to address legal confusion and provide clearer guidance.
Beyond the Senate floor action, Quinn offered his insights on several other major topics currently in the spotlight:
- Online Sports Betting: Quinn discussed why the plan is considered dead until next year and what might come next in 2025.
- School Consolidation Bills: He shared his take on the Wisconsin Assembly’s passage of Republican-backed school consolidation proposals, discussing potential impacts on rural districts.
- Hemp & Cannabis Legislation: Quinn provided updates on the latest conversations surrounding hemp, cannabis reform possibilities, and where he believes lawmakers stand heading into the new year.
The November appearance came one week earlier than Quinn’s usual last-Thursday-of-the-month schedule due to next week’s Thanksgiving holiday.
