MADISON — State Assembly Republican Speaker Robin Vos' popcorn company received tens of thousands of dollars through a federal small business lending program intended to support the economy during the coronavirus pandemic, according to data released Monday.
Robin J. Vos Enterprises in Burlington received between $150,000 and $350,000 through the Paycheck Protection Program, according to figures from the U.S. Treasury Department. The funding was approved on April 11.
The company located at 140 Longmeadow Drive in the Burlington Industrial Park, manufactures popcorn and popcorn supplies. Asked how the money was used, Vos’ spokeswoman Kit Beyer responded with an email.
“His company received one of nearly 700,000 loans given to small businesses, which allowed the company to keep its workers employed during these uncertain times,” Beyer said.
Vos, R-Rochester, represents the 63rd Assembly District, which includes a large swath of southern Racine County stretching from Burlington to Mount Pleasant.

Vos decrying welfare - while allowing Government shutdowns and applying/accepting taxpayer funded wealth transfer schemes.
