2019 LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES International Trade International trade is vital to Wisconsin’s economy. Over $30 billion worth of goods and services were exported from Wisconsin in 2014. Over 800,000 Wisconsin jobs are supported by trade, and 87 percent of Wisconsin exporters are small and medium-sized businesses. The Trump Administration has imposed national security tariffs and quotas on imports of aluminum and steel from longstanding U.S. allies. Retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries on U.S. exports have made American-made goods more expensive and threatened Wisconsin jobs. Thirty-seven percent of members of Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, the state chamber of commerce, say the U.S. imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum, as well as the retaliatory tariffs, have had a negative impact on their business. Forward Janesville supports the Congressional Trade Authority Act introduced by Representatives Ron Kind (D-WI) and Michael Gallagher (R-WI). The bill would amend the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 to provide Congress with new tools to oversee the use of tariffs or other trade restrictions for national security purposes. Under the bill, national security trade restrictions proposed by the president would require congressional approval under an expedited, 60-day procedure. National security tariffs imposed within the past four years would also be subject to congressional review. Other reforms in the bill would include tightening the definition of “national security”to prevent the abuse of congressionally delegated powers to restrict trade for security reasons. We believe that this bill is needed to restore an appropriate balance between Congress and the president in the exercise of trade and tariff powers. We urge our legislative delegation to cosponsor and support this important bipartisan legislation. 2019 ADVOCACY SPONSORS: FORWARDJANESVILLE.COM

Repeal the “Cadillac Tax” We urge you to cosponsor and support H.R. 748, the Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act of 2019. This bipartisan bill would repeal the impending 40 percent tax on employ- er-provided health care benefits in the Affordable Care Act, also known as the Cadillac Tax. Congress has acted twice to delay the implementation of the Cadillac Tax, but this policy is already causing an adverse effect on the affordability and quality of health coverage available to employees and their families. Since 2010, deductibles have risen 89 percent while wage growth has remained comparatively flat, according to 2018 data from the Kaiser Family Foundation. While this tax was intended to apply to“gold-plated”health insurance plans, very modest plans covering low- and moderate-income working families are projected to trigger the tax. The tax will disproportionately tax the health plans of women, seniors, working, middle-class families, the sick, and the disabled. Small businesses that already struggle to offer health care coverage will also be heavily penalized. This tax has real and harmful consequences—and Americans cannot afford to pay more for their health care benefits. Employer-provided coverage is the backbone of our health care system and the primary source of coverage for most Americans. More than more than 181 million Americans receive health care coverage through an employer. According to 2018 mid-term election polling, 81 percent of voters oppose taxing employer-provided health coverage. The looming 40 percent Cadillac Tax on employer-provided health coverage is widely opposed by both Republicans and Democrats. Over 300 members of the House of Representatives cosponsored legislation in the last Congress to repeal the tax. We urge our legislators to cosponsor and support this important bipartisan legislation. Transportation Funding While Congress has taken steps to shore up our nation’s transportation system, more must be done. Last year, President Trump unveiled a plan that aims to stimulate billions in new infrastructure spending over the next decade. We support President Trump’s desire to enact a nationwide infrastructure plan, and hope that Congress will approve a significant transportation package in the 116th Congress. We believe that any infrastructure plan should eliminate federal restrictions on tolling, and should contain a sustainable and reliable funding source for transportation pro- grams. Further, we hope that any transportation bill fully funds Wisconsin’s state and local transportation priorities and returns our fair share of transportation dollars. 2019 ADVOCACY SPONSORS: FORWARDJANESVILLE.COM

2019 Federal Legislative Agenda Issue 1: Increased Support for Transportation Issue 3: Continued Support for Housing and Federal programs and funding are essential for local Community Development Programs street, bridge, transit, bicycle/pedestrian and interstate improvements. We are pleased that Congress passed the Federally-backed housing and community development Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, a programs are critical to assisting Janesville’s citizens and five year, comprehensive transportation bill. The FAST Act supporting the local economy. The Community allows us to better plan for and advance much needed Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment local, state, and federal road projects by maintaining Partnership (HOME) programs are essential in countless programs and funding shares. However, the FAST Act’s communities across the country, including Janesville. funding increase of just 11 percent over five years falls These programs help revitalize neighborhoods, encourage short of this nation’s transportation needs. We urge home ownership, improve housing quality, provide Congress to continue prioritizing transportation by fully employment opportunities, and provide low- and moderate- funding Wisconsin’s transportation priorities and returning income residents with housing. Approximately 70 families Wisconsin’s fair share of dollars; allowing states to explore in Janesville obtained decent, safe, and affordable housing tolling by removing federal obstacles such as prohibiting in 2017 as a result of these programs. Since 2010, CDBG the establishment of tolls on existing interstates; and funds have declined by 13.5 percent. The HOME Program assuring the long-term health of the Highway Trust Fund saw its first increase in many years last year, for which we by allowing the federal fuel tax to be indexed to inflation. are very appreciative. The President’s FY2019 Budget The current federal fuel tax has not been adjusted since includes further significant reductions to these critical 1993. programs. The City requests that CDBG and HOME funding remains a budgetary priority and that CDBG Issue 2: Funding Support for Public Transit funding be restored to 2010 levels. Through the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Rent Assistance Program, the City The Janesville Transit System (JTS) meets the assists approximately 500 families each month, providing transportation needs of the public by providing daily bus an essential safety net for low-income families. The service within Janesville and regionally, allowing citizens families assisted in Janesville have an average income of to get to work, school, and essential services such as $10,962 a year, and 65 percent of those assisted are healthcare. Federal funding is vital to supporting JTS elderly or disabled. Administrative fees for the HCV capital needs and daily operations. We are encouraged by program are insufficient to operate the program in a Congress passing the FAST Act and Janesville’s recent manner that truly supports and encourages families in receipt of capital funding for buses. However, federal obtaining self-sufficiency. Administrative fees have transit funding is not distributed equitably to states. declined from a 93 percent pro-ration in 2010 to 76-80 Currently, Wisconsin accounts for two percent of the percent in 2018. We request that Congress increases nation’s population but receives just one percent of the funding to 100 percent of fee eligibility. Finally, in June funding. We remind Congress of the importance of 2017, participating agencies were asked to provide funding the Bus and Bus Related Facilities program and feedback on reducing the regulatory burden in HUD-funded the annual operating assistance program to provide programs. We encourage Congress to review comments adequate support for transit services in Wisconsin. received by Janesville and other agencies and attempt to address the challenges raised, thereby improving the efficiency and effectiveness of these programs. Issue 4: Railroad Safety and Disclosure of Hazardous Materials When emergency events involving trains occur, local first responders are tasked with protecting life and property within the affected communities. However, railroad companies have little responsibility to those municipalities. We are pleased that the FAST Act included the requirement that local first responders be informed about hazardous materials traveling through their jurisdiction before the train arrives. However, this is just a starting point and the requirements should be expanded. For instance, local emergency personnel should be informed about materials in rail cars that are stored in yards and any “off-loading” of material that may occur within their jurisdiction. We ask Congress to continue refining rail safety and reporting requirements so that railroad companies are accountable to the local municipalities that shoulder the responsibility for managing rail-related emergency events.

Special education costs currently account for $19.1m of the district’s $121.5m budget. Unfortunately, federal and state funding for special education has remained flat for a decade. The federal government should fund 40%, and state government 60% of special education costs. However, neither government entity has ever fully funded the program. Mandated special education programming for the 2018-19 school year in the School District of Janesville was funded 17% ($3.2m) by federal funds, 20% ($3.8m) by State of Wisconsin funds, and 63% ($12.1m) by the local funds. Federal and state underfunding results in the district being forced to spend $12.1m of general funds intended for all students to make up the funding shortfall for special education students. During the 2017-18 school year the funding shortfall was $11.4m. We ask that our national representatives support increased federal funding for special education.

HO-CHUNK NATION BELOIT CASINO PROJECT The Ho-Chunk Nation is proposing a destination-based entertainment complex in the City of Beloit, WI that includes a convention center, hotel, waterpark, and a gaming venue. The gaming component of the project specifically requires approval to place land in trust and authorize off-premise Class III (full casino-style) gambling by the Bureau of Indian Affairs within the Department of Interior with subsequent approval by the Wisconsin Governor. The City of Beloit has been in partnership with the Ho-Chunk Nation (the Nation) since an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the Nation, City of Beloit, and Rock County was first approved in March 2012. The IGA requires revenue sharing with local government, which based on an estimated $250 million in net win, the 2% share to the City of Beloit and Rock County would be $5 million annually with $3.5 million (70%) to the City and $1.5 million (30%) to the County. This critically needed revenue would support infrastructure improvements and public safety. Further, 1,500 direct jobs generated from this development would provide needed employment opportunities for the Rock County region, as well as our neighbors in northern Illinois. The application has been under BIA review in a draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) since 2012. The final step in their process is publication of the final EIS. We are hopeful, given that the public comment period for the DEIS expired on December 24, 2018, following a public hearing held on December 11, 2018, that the BIA will be prepared to publish a final EIS with its approval this spring. Unlike requests from other First Nations tribes, the Nation has a compact with the State of Wisconsin that specifically provides for a fourth Class III gaming site in Wisconsin. We are optimistic about the proposal’s state approval partially based on this distinction. 24

INTERNATIONAL TRADE International trade is vital to our state and national economies. Over 800,000 Wisconsin jobs are supported by trade, and $30 billion worth of goods and services were exported from Wisconsin in 2014. More than 41 million American jobs depend on trade, and trade is critical to the success of many sectors of the economy. The Benefits of Imports: According to the US Chamber of Commerce, “Amid a renewed focus on boosting U.S. exports, it is important to bear in mind that imports benefit Americans as well. They bring lower prices and more choices for American families as they try to stretch their budgets. Companies also depend on imports for raw materials and competitively priced inputs. Imports give us access to products that would not otherwise be available—such as fresh fruit in the winter. Access to imports boosts the purchasing power of the average American household by about $18,000 annually. Companies’ imports of intermediate goods, raw materials, and capital goods account for more than 60% of all U.S. goods imports—lowering costs for manufacturers and other businesses and helping them hone their competitive edge.” Free Trade Agreements: Again, the US Chamber states: “tremendous benefits have flowed from U.S. free-trade agreements (FTAs), which cover 20 countries. These countries represent approximately 6% of the world’s population outside the United States, and yet last year these markets purchased nearly half of all U.S. exports, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. In other words, U.S. FTAs do an outstanding job making big markets even out of small economies. The trade balance is a poor measure of the success of these agreements, but deficits are often cited by trade skeptics as a reason why the United States should not negotiate free trade agreements. However, with regard to manufactured goods, the United States 25

ran a cumulative trade surplus with its trade agreement partner countries of more than $271 billion over the past eight years (2009-2015), according to data from the U.S. Department of Commerce. Overall, the United States had a modest trade surplus with its 20 trade agreement partners as a group throughout the 2012-2015 period (2016 services trade data pending). Together, these facts reveal that the U.S. trade deficit arises from trade in manufactured goods with countries where the United States has no trade agreement in place. It’s wrong to say trade agreements are contributing to the deficit.” NAFTA and the USMCA: Canada and Mexico represent two of the U.S.’s largest trading partners, and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has been instrumental in helping companies of all sizes export their goods and services. Trade with Canada and Mexico supports 14 million American jobs and generates $1.3 trillion annually in goods and services traded across our borders. The US Chamber of Commerce is leading efforts to get the United States Mexico- Canada Agreement (USMCA, e.g. the “New NAFTA”) to the president’s desk this year. Passage of USMCA is a top priority of the White House, but getting the agreement through the House of Representatives will be a challenge. Congressional Situation: Congressman Sean Duffy (R, WI 7th District) has introduced the Reciprocal Trade Act, a White House-backed bill crafted to give the president more authority to raise tariffs. Meanwhile, Congressmen Mike Gallagher (R, WI 8th District) and Ron Kind (D, WI 3rd District) have introduced H.R. 940, the Congressional Trade Authority Act, a bipartisan bill to provide Congress with new tools to oversee and either approve or reject the use of tariffs or other trade restrictions for national security purposes. Forward Janesville supports the Congressional Trade Authority Act. Under the bill, national security trade restrictions proposed by the president would require congressional approval under an expedited, 60-day procedure. National security tariffs imposed within the past four years would also be subject to congressional review. Other reforms in the bill would include tightening the definition of “national security” to prevent the abuse of congressionally delegated powers to restrict trade for security reasons. We believe that this bill is needed to restore an appropriate balance between Congress and the president in the exercise of trade and tariff powers. 26

Trade works for Wisconsin. Tariffs don't. The administration's new tariffs threaten to spark a global trade war. Canada, Mexico, the EU, and China have already retaliated or announced plans to retaliate with billions of dollars in tariffs on American-made products. Tariffs imposed by the United States are nothing more than a tax increase on American consumers and businesses, including manufacturers, farmers, and technology companies, who will all pay more for commonly used products and materials. Retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries on U.S. exports will make American-made goods more expensive, resulting in lost sales and ultimately lost jobs here at home. This is the wrong approach, and it threatens to derail our nation's recent economic resurgence.

THE “CADILLAC TAX” Background: “The Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) high-cost plan tax (HCPT), popularly known as the “Cadillac tax,” is a 40 percent excise tax on employer plans exceeding $10,200 in premiums per year for individuals and $27,500 for families. The tax is scheduled to take effect in 2020. Employer and employee premium contributions will count against the threshold, as will most employer and (pretax) employee contributions to health savings accounts (HSAs), Archer medical savings accounts (MSAs), flexible spending accounts (FSAs), and health reimbursement accounts (HRAs).” (The Commonwealth Fund, 6-8-16) Congress has twice delayed implementation of the tax, which is currently delayed until 2022. Arguments for the Tax: The Cadillac tax was included in the Affordable Care Act to control rising health care costs and generate revenue for the Treasury that would offset some of the costs of the ACA. Proponents of the tax argue that the “unlimited exclusion of employer-financed health insurance from income and payroll taxes is economically inefficient and regressive.” (CNBC, 10-1-15) “They also said that the tax will discourage insurance that is so generous to workers that they “have little incentive to insist on cost-effective care, and providers have little incentive to provide it.” A key theory behind the tax is that if workers are forced to pay more directly for medical services, they will 28

be smarter consumers and less apt to get treatment that is unnecessary, or which could be obtained at a lower cost.” (CNBC, 10-1-15) Arguments Against the Tax: Implementation of the Cadillac Tax would permanently alter the American health care coverage landscape. Employer-provided coverage is the backbone of our health care system and the primary source of coverage for most Americans. More than more than 181 million Americans receive health care coverage through an employer. If the tax were enacted, many employers would be forced to curtail benefits and increase workers’ out-of-pocket costs to get under the Cadillac Tax threshold. Even the threat of implementation could lead to the effects, as employers are being forced to prepare for the tax’s impact. The Cadillac Tax is already causing an adverse effect on the affordability and quality of health coverage available to employees and their families. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation’s 2018 data, since 2010, deductibles have risen 89 percent while wage growth has remained comparatively flat. While this tax was intended to apply to “gold-plated” health insurance plans, very modest plans covering low- and moderate-income working families are now projected to trigger the tax. The Kaiser Family Foundation found that a growing number of employers will be subject to the tax: nearly 25 percent of employers will be subject to the tax if it went into place today, and this number would rise to 30 percent by 2023 and to 42 percent by 2028. The size of the tax and the effect it is expected to have in driving up employees’ share of health care costs have led to an emerging consensus in Washington against the tax. Congressional Situation: Forward Janesville has endorsed H.R. 748, the Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act of 2019, a bipartisan bill to repeal the Cadillac Tax. H.R. 748 already has over 200 bipartisan cosponsors, including Wisconsin Representatives Mark Pocan, Mike Gallagher and Sean Duffy. 29

TRANSPORTATION FUNDING Last year, President Trump unveiled a plan that aims to stimulate $1.5 trillion in new infrastructure spending over the next decade. The President hopes to invest over $200 billion in federal money to catalyze state and private sector spending. The big question is how the plan will be paid for. A significant state matching requirement is almost certain to be part of the package—states will need to step up with significant matching funds to unlock federal funds. The infrastructure proposal could include permanent streamlining of federal projects approval (the so-called two years, one decision model); a commitment to public / private partnerships for infrastructure projects (AKA, financing flexibility); and the prioritization of projects that will lead to the highest economic return. The US Chamber of Commerce supports a five cent / five-year increase in the federal gas tax, which hasn’t been altered since 1993. This would generate an additional $375 billion over the next 10 years. We believe that Congress should seek a long-term, sustainable funding stream for transportation programs, and that a gas tax increase is the simplest, most effective short-term way to increase infrastructure spending (even as people drive less and cars become more fuel efficient.) While Forward 30

Janesville has not endorsed a state or federal gas tax increase, we believe it is an idea that is worth considering. The President’s infrastructure proposal also seeks to eliminate federal barriers to tolling and gives states the flexibility to collect tolls on interstate highways to allow for additional local infrastructure investment. We believe that every state should have the ability to consider adding tolls to existing highways. (BACKGROUND: Present law requires states to construct new lanes on highways that they want to add tolls to unless they are granted an exemption, which has been limited to three states (Virginia, North Carolina and Missouri) who have not moved forward with tolling. The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, the last big federal infrastructure bill, put a three-year deadline on these states to act, or their slots could be granted to another state. We have pushed state leaders to apply should VA, NC or MO forfeit their slot.) While there is broad support for infrastructure investment in Congress, passage of a transportation bill this year is unlikely. 31

Congressman Bryan Steil (R-WI-01) First elected in 2018, Congressman Bryan Steil represents Wisconsin’s First Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Jack Howard, US Chamber of Commerce Jack Howard is senior vice president of the Congressional and Public Affairs Division at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The division includes a team of 15 lobbyists in Washington, D.C., as well as seven regional offices charged with providing membership services and grassroots lobbying. Howard is responsible for developing the strategy and leading the tactical execution of the Chamber’s congressional lobbying activities, coordinating resources in Washington and around the country, and ensuring that the division’s mission and objectives align with those of the Chamber. With more than 25 years of government service, Howard served in the White House as deputy assistant to President George W. Bush. He worked in the Office of Legislative Affairs where he coordinated the efforts of senior-level White House officials, Cabinet departments, and agencies to secure congressional passage of President Bush’s legislative priorities. Earlier, he served in the White House under President George H.W. Bush from 1989 to 1992, also in the Office of Legislative Affairs, where he had similar responsibilities. Howard’s extensive experience also includes having worked at the highest levels of Congress and having served as senior counsel and adviser to Republican leaders of the House and Senate, including Speakers Dennis Hastert and Newt Gingrich as well as Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott. His experience earned him recognition as an inside leader in Washington. National Journal named him one of the “Top 50 Bush White House staff members.” Roll Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill, regularly acknowledged Howard among the “Top 50 Congressional staff members.” Before joining the Chamber, Howard was vice chairman and chief operating officer of Wexler & Walker Public Policy Associates, a lobbying and consulting firm specializing in international affairs and trade advocacy. He received his bachelor’s degree in political science from Gettysburg College. 33

Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) Born in Wisconsin and raised by her grandparents, Tammy Baldwin graduated from Madison West High School and went on to double-major in political science and mathematics at Smith College. In 1989, she earned her law degree from University of Wisconsin. In 1986, while in law school, she served on the Madison Common Council, filling an aldermanic vacancy. Tammy was also elected to the first of four terms (1986-1994) on the Dane County Board of Supervisors. In 1992, Tammy was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly as a State Representative for the 78th District, serving three terms. In 1998, Wisconsin’s 2nd Congressional District shattered the state’s glass ceiling and elected Tammy Baldwin as the state’s first female member of Congress and the nation’s first openly gay challenger sent to Congress. She served seven terms in the House of Representatives, serving on Budget Committee, the Judiciary Committee, and the Energy and Commerce Committee. Tammy was elected to the U.S. Senate on November 6, 2012, winning a hard- fought race and making history as Wisconsin’s first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate and the first openly gay member elected to the Senate. In the Senate, Senator Baldwin is committed to working across party lines to strengthen the essential pillars of economic security for the middle class - investments in education and workforce readiness, quality health care for all Americans, building a strong manufacturing economy, and ensuring retirement security for today’s seniors and future generations. Senator Baldwin serves on the Senate Appropriations Committee, the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), and the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. 34

Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) Both of Ron’s parents were born and raised on farms. Their work ethic and small-town values were naturally passed along to their own children. As a result, Ron has worked hard all his life. As a boy, he mowed lawns, shoveled snow, delivered papers, and caddied for a few extra bucks. At the age of 15, he obtained his first tax-paying job as a dishwasher in a Walgreens grill. He rose through the ranks as a soda jerk, fry cook, and finally night manager before reaching the age of 16. He gained early acceptance to the University of Minnesota, so he skipped his senior year of High School and worked full time while obtaining his degree in business and accounting. In 1977, after graduating with a BSB-Accounting degree, he married his wife Jane, and started working as an accountant at Jostens. He also continued his education by enrolling in an MBA night program. In July of 1979, Ron and Jane moved to Oshkosh to start a business with Jane’s brother. The company – PACUR – began producing plastic sheet for packaging and printing applications. Ron has been building the same business for the last 31 years. From operating the equipment, to keeping the company books, and selling its products, Ron has been involved in every function of the business. It is this body of experience and private sector perspective that he now brings to the Senate. Ron came to Washington because the federal government is bankrupting America. He thinks it is important for citizen legislators to ally with those who are seriously facing that reality. Ron’s manufacturing background has taught him to attack the root cause of a problem, not mere symptoms. He believes huge deficits, slow economic activity, high unemployment and woefully inadequate job creation are severe symptoms of the problem – but not the root cause. The ever expanding size, scope and cost of government is. Ron serves on the committees on the Budget, Commerce, Science and Transportation; Foreign Relations; Small Business and Entrepreneurship; and as the Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. He resides in Oshkosh, Wisconsin with his wife Jane. They have three children. 35

Congressman Mark Pocan (D-WI-02) Congressman Mark Pocan was sworn in as the U.S. Representative for Wisconsin’s second congressional district in 2013 following 14 years in the Wisconsin State Assembly.
