Reagan Meets Gorbachev
Suder said the omnibus package on Corrections funding is "an astonishing bipartisan agreement.
He drew laughs from the committee room when he said the meeting of the minds he had with Pocan on the issue was the most unlikely "since Reagan met Gorbachev."
Pocan was the only member of the Assembly to vote against the sex offender GPS tracking legislation Suder championed last session. Now Pocan has signed on to the proposal.
"Some said we could never achieve this," Suder said. "I never thought I'd see a Suder-Pocan motion on Corrections."
Pocan credited Suder with bringing the package together, and said he and Suder "share common goals" of community safety while at the same time reducing Corrections costs by reducing prison populations.
