State Representatives from Waukesha County have put forward a budget amendment to add ten positions to the District Attorney’s Office. The move is aimed at addressing increasing caseloads, improving the efficiency of the criminal justice system, and ensuring timely justice for residents.
Rep. Adam Neylon commented on the motion, stating: “The justice system in Waukesha County is under immense strain, with a growing backlog of unresolved cases. This backlog denies both victims and defendants their fundamental right to timely justice. Without immediate investment in staffing, our courts cannot ensure a fair and swift judicial process. It’s time to give Waukesha County’s justice system the tools it needs to serve our community.”
The proposal was submitted by State Representatives Adam Neylon, Scott Allen, Barbara Dittrich, Cindi Duchow, Dan Knodl, Dave Maxey, Jim Piwowarczyk, and Chuck Wichgers.
