Eye on Oshkosh - guest Wisconsin State Rep. 54th Assembly District Lori ...

On this edition of Eye on Oshkosh, host Cheryl Hentz spends the hour talking with Lori Palmeri, State Representative for the 54th Assembly District. This visit covered nothing short of very important information for people living here to have.

After years of fighting to have, what many believed to be gerrymandered district maps redrawn, new maps were finally drawn and signed into law. With the maps redrawn, you may no longer be in the 54th Assembly District or the 18th State Senate District come 2025. Or, you may have been in other districts previously and are now the 54th and/or 18th.  There are different websites you can visit to learn what district(s) you are in. Those sites include the following: legis.wisconsin.gov; house.gov; or myvote.wi.gov.

 Other issues discussed include recently-passed vehicle registration fee for residents of Oshkosh, the ERA, affordable housing and possible ways to get developers to include housing for low to moderate income people in their developments, etc.

Constituents can reach Rep. Palmeri by email at rep.palmeri@legis.wisconsin.gov or by phone at 608-237-9154. By way of reminder, she will be holding her monthly office hours in the district on May 17 from 10 am to 2 pm at the Oshkosh Seniors Center.
