PFAS is an enormous problem in our state as well as other states. But speaking for Wisconsin, what is so frustrating is that We are now sitting on 450 days of the Joint Finance Committee, which my opponent is a vice chair of, holding on and holding back $125 million again that the legislature approved and governor ever signed off on to allow communities in Wisconsin to test for PFAS and to start remediating PFAs. Many other states around the country, New Jersey and Illinois, Minnesota, they have taken those funds and made progress where over the past year. (14:08–14:32)
