@FBIMilwaukee @wiz_political “Milwaukee prenatal care company” These programs are created by Democrats with the specific intention of minorities defrauding them. Look at Minnesota. It’s how Democrats get votes now. Vote for me, and I’ll let you loot the coffers.

Markita Barnes, 33, Milwaukee, was sentenced to 121 months in federal prison for committing a healthcare fraud scheme yesterday in the Eastern District of Wisconsin. According to court records, Barnes stole over $2.3 million from a Medicaid benefit program that was meant to help at-risk mothers and children when she owned a Milwaukee prenatal care company. The court also ordered Barnes to pay restitution of over $2.3 million to Medicaid following her imprisonment. FBI Milwaukee along with the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) Medicaid Fraud Control and Elder Abuse Unit, the DOJ Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) investigated the case.

UPDATE: I spoke with @RepNedweski32 this week about Governor Tony Evers' 400-year veto and property tax hike that raises Wisconsin's property taxes annually and charges $325 per student every year for the next 400 years. Rep. Amanda Nedweski represents the 32nd Assembly district located in Kenosha County. Nedweski has been fighting to reverse this 400-year bill since day one after Evers used his partial veto power to sign it into the state budget in 2023. "The Governor’s 400-year veto will tax seniors out of their homes and push the dream of homeownership further out of reach for younger generations," says Nedweski. "No Governor, Republican or Democrat, should be able to raise taxes on Wisconsin families with the stroke of a pen." Rep. Amanda Nedweski is the author of the constitutional amendment SJR 116, which passed last week on second consideration (it went through 2 sessions and successfully passed). This amendment strictly prohibits future Wisconsin governors from using their partial veto authority to increase taxes or fees on Wisconsin taxpayers going forward. As this is a constitutional amendment rather than a bill, the amendment does NOT go to the Governor for signature, but will rather appear on the November 3rd ballot for voter approval. The fight continues on— "this amendment does NOT reverse or repeal the Governor’s 400-year veto, but rather it restricts the partial veto authority to ensure it couldn’t happen again in the future," says Nedweski. Wisconsin has twice used the constitutional amendment process to restrict the use of the line-item veto—once under Thompson and again under Doyle. Both efforts passed with over 60% approval. There was separate legislation that would retroactively REPEAL the 400-year veto, which Nedweski voted for. This bill (SB 389) was authored by Rep. Maxey and Sen. Kapenga. Governor Evers is expected to VETO this bill. “It is basically a two-pronged approach,” says Nedweski. First, the legislature passed SB 389 to repeal the effects of the 400-year veto and prevent another 399 years of property tax increases. Second, the Assembly also passed Nedweski’s constitutional amendment which will rein in the Governor’s partial veto authority to ensure that no future governor can use their veto pen to increase taxes again. Rep. Nedweski has fought to get this amendment on the ballot for a vote this November. However, the fight to REVERSE the 400-year property tax increase continues. The ONLY way Wisconsin can completely reverse this 400-year property tax increase is to elect legislators willing to pass a bill to repeal it and elect a Governor in office willing to sign it. Tom Tiffany has stated his unwavering commitment to signing a bill that will ncompletely reverse it if elected Governor of Wisconsin in November. x.com/RepNedweski32/…
