Kestell Cools It Out
Rep. Steve Kestell, R-Elkhorn Lake, provided a calm counterpoint to Sen. Jauch, who ended by saying the Republican proposal "is not only reckless, it's immoral."
Kestell said Jauch was "a hard act to follow." Budgets are about priorities, he said, and while education would be at the top of his list, the governor has put forward a budget where "everything is a priority."
"We need to have a very serious conversation about education funding in Wisconsin," Kestell said, noting that Wisconsin spends $2,000 more per student than comparable states. "At this rate, there is no way we'll be able to keep up."
