2025 NCSL Legislative Summit In Boston
This week I attended the 2025 NCSL Summit in Boston. The National Conference of State Legislatures was founded in 1975 and is a bipartisan organization consisting of all 50 state legislatures. Each year they put on a conference that brings together state leaders from across the country to discuss common issues, and to find policy solutions. This years’ conference featured workshops on Energy, Trade, and Education just to name a few. In the picture above I had the chance to use my skills from playing basketball in High School and try a few free throws at the home of the Boston Celtics!
I-41 Construction Update
A few weeks ago I was able to see first hand the progress being made along the I-41 Project. The Wisconsin 15 Interchange project is moving forward with the bridge over I-41 and the north bound ramps are reopening mid-September, but the south bound ramps are closing September 2nd and reopening in mid-November. Progress is being made, and for further updates click here.

The best way to experience the beauty and grandeur of Wisconsin’s Capitol building (located at 2 East Main Street, Madison, WI 53702) is to see it for yourself. It is open to the public weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and weekends and holidays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Free tours are offered daily, year round except on the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas. Tours start at the information desk Monday through Saturday at 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 a.m. and 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 p.m.; and Sundays at 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 p.m. A 4:00 p.m. tour is offered weekdays (Monday – Friday), excluding holidays, during Memorial Day through Labor Day. Plan on spending 45-55 minutes for a tour. The sixth floor museum and observation deck are open during the summer months. Groups of ten or more can make an on-line reservation for a tour of the State Capitol or call (608)266-0382.
