Taylor Has Concerns About Motion
Sen. Lena Taylor, D-Milwaukee, gave an emotional argument against the motion, saying it cuts funding for families that are in "desperate need."
She said as successor to former Sen. Gwen Moore, now a U.S. Rep., she feels a responsibility to stand up against the funding restraints included in the motion.
"I wish I had a piece of Gwen Moore or a piece of (state Rep.) Tamara Grigsby in me now," said a choked up Taylor. "It's sad that we could easily say, 'We did the best we could.'"
She said she hopes the siutation can be rectified in a budget repair bill.
