Crex Meadows Motion Fails
The committee has returned from its break, with Rhoades telling Jauch that Republicans agree the Crex Meadows Youth Conservation Camp in Grantsburg is a good project, but he may not be pursuing the right funding source. She asks Jauch if he'd like to pull it back until a later time.
Jauch replied that the same case could be made with any motion down the line. He seemed to warn that defeating the motion would impact negotiations down the road.
"I've seen this committee work like a boxing match and I've seen this committee work in a very collegial way," Jauch said, explaining that the job of the committee is to get as much of the budget completed before it goes to the legislative houses.
"I understand that programs like this you want to fund without expending new GPR, there for it has to come from someplace. I've identified a funding source," he said.
Jauch's motion failed on a party-line 8-8 vote.
