GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is talking about the deadly terror attacks in Brussels Tuesday that killed at least 30 people and injured dozens more.
“We certainly stand united with those in Brussels and around the world who are trying to counter the Islamic State and other threats from terrorists,” Walker said after a bill signing ceremony in Green Bay Tuesday.
Walker told the media that he’s been in touch his Homeland Security advisor, National Guard Maj. Gen. Donald Dunbar, who is Wisconsin’s Adjutant General.
“We have plans, there’s not specific new actions, we just try to reinforce all the plans we have in place,” Walker explained. “The most important thing to tell the public, is renewing our pleas for people to help with the ‘if you see something, say something’ campaign.”
Governor Walker says that people don’t need to reach out to the FBI, they can simply notify their local law enforcement agency that way.
“One of the best ways to counter these sorts of incidents is if people notice something unusual, is to report it to local law enforcement,” Walker says.
The Republican governor also maintains that Wisconsin is safe.
“I believe so. If you look, a good example of that is after San Bernardino, we had the FBI working together thwarting an attack that could’ve taken place at the Masonic temple in the city of Milwaukee,” said Walker. “As good as that is, as good as it feels to see that happen, the bottom line is there’s no margin for error, we’ve got to be right all the time.”
