Nass: End JFC Process Now
Rep. Steve Nass, R-Whitewater, says the first two weeks of the Joint Finance Committee process has been "horrible for taxpayers and fantastic for big spenders," and called on Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch and JFC co-chair Rep. Kitty Rhoades to end it.
"The current process, negotiated between the Co-Chairs, clearly favors the Senate Democrats in preserving Governor Doyle's $1.7 billion in tax and fee increases," said Nass in a letter to Rhoades and Huebsch. "It's painfully obvious that Senate Democrats won't agree to any changes in tax and fee increases, but will accept changes to promote spending and buy friends through expanded government programs."
Nass says the JFC should be skipped and legislative conference committees should has out the budget differences.
