Statement of Senator Herb Kohl on the Failure to Extend Unemployment Benefits
6/25/10
"Families across the state are struggling after their unemployment benefits were abruptly cut off at the end of May. Though a majority of the Senate supports an extension, we unfortunately remain stymied without Republican support. An extension of the unemployment benefits program needs bipartisan support and we will continue to work on passing an extension through the end of the year."
