MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Press Club and the Rotary Club of Milwaukee will present a Newsmaker Luncheon on Tuesday, October 13, featuring Representatives Robert Hutton and Evan Goyke.
Important changes to our criminal justice system are currently underway in Wisconsin. In the State Assembly, a bi-partisan effort to bring these reforms is being led by State Representatives Rob Hutton (R-Brookfield) and Evan Goyke (D-Milwaukee). Speaking on Wisconsin’s need for justice reform and focusing on ideas currently being debated in the State Legislature, Representatives Hutton and Goyke will provide a view of what may be in store for Wisconsin’s justice system. Specific topics will include: returning some 17 year-old offenders to juvenile court; expanding expungement of non-violent records; Treatment, Alternatives and Diversions (TAD) programming; and enhancing victim’s rights. Rotarian Kent Lovern, Milwaukee County Chief Deputy District Attorney, will moderate the discussion.
Lunch and networking at 11:45, program 12 noon to 1:15 p.m. in Memorial Hall at the War Memorial Center, 750 N. Lincoln Memorial Drive downtown. Parking is available to the north of the building – please tell the attendant you are there for Rotary. Seating will be limited for this event and advanced registration is required.
