It was an honor to present a Legislative Citation, on behalf of Senator Howard Marklein and myself, to Robert Pohle in recognition of his nearly 15 years of dedicated volunteer service with the Cassville Rescue Squad.

Robert's years of selfless service have made a lasting difference for the people of Cassville and the surrounding townships. His commitment to protecting others, supporting his fellow first responders, and strengthening rural EMS exemplifies the volunteer spirit that makes our rural communities strong.

Congratulations, Robert, on your well-earned retirement, and thank you for your outstanding service.

Steph and I had a wonderful time at the Cassville Rescue Squad's 45th Annual Dance. It was great to see so many community members come together in support of the Rescue Squad and the volunteers who serve our communities.

The evening ended with a beautiful sunset over the mighty Mississippi River—a fitting backdrop as our nation prepares to celebrate America's 250th birthday. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you to the Cassville Rescue Squad and everyone who helps keep our rural communities safe and strong.

“This 765 Kv line is a bad idea driven by flawed MISO policy that prioritizes moving massive amounts of intermittent industrial wind and solar power instead of focusing on reliable, common-sense baseload WI generation. The Driftless Region is special and should be preserved and protected.” - Rep. Travis Tranel
