Senator Jodi Habush Sinykin Praises Governor Evers’ Proactive Plan to Address PFAS in Our Water

MADISON, WI – Today, Governor Tony Evers announced new comprehensive plans for his upcoming 2025-27 Executive Budget to address toxic PFAS contamination in Wisconsin’s water, a long-standing challenge facing too many of our communities. This action builds upon previous proposals by both the Governor and Wisconsin Legislative Democrats to ensure all Wisconsinites have access to safe, clean drinking water. Senator Jodi Habush Sinykin (D-Whitefish Bay) released the following statement:

“I am pleased to see the Governor step up and show common-sense leadership, once again, to address these dangerous chemicals in Wisconsin’s water sources. PFAS chemicals have been linked to serious adverse health effects in humans and animals. It is important that we support programs that are proactive in preventing the spread of PFAS and the clean-up process, better protecting Wisconsin’s treasured natural resources and public health.

“This is an urgent issue and the legislature cannot delay in protecting clean water for the people of Wisconsin. Every single person, no matter their party affiliation, needs clean drinking water in order to live. Republicans and Democrats must work together to do what is best for our state and I look forward to the continued work on this issue with my colleagues.”
