Governor Tony Ever recently vetoed a bill which would allow the use of paddlewheels for raffles, and Senator Andre Jacque is not happy.
Senate Bill 43 would have allowed the popular use of paddlewheels for raffles across our state to continue without groups unknowingly and unintentionally committing a felony level offense.
In a statement, the Senator from De Pere stated, “Paddlewheel raffles are very common and successful fundraisers amongst Wisconsin’s many sportsmen’s clubs, civic and veterans’ organizations, and churches throughout the state…I’m disappointed this bill was unanimously passed in committee and on the floor in both houses of the Legislature, just for Governor Evers to veto it.”
