Decker Highlights Some Priorities

Responding to Rep. Rhoades comments about DOA's contingency plan for cutting 20 percent from Medicaid expenditures in light of the late budget, Sen. Decker said he doesn't doubt her sincerity on the issue.

But, he said, Dems are equally sincere about restoring cuts in Homestead tax credit eligibility, increasing funding for domestic abuse programs, funding a study into causes of infant mortality in Racine.

He also added that the Dems are "very serious" about providing health insurance to more Wisconsin residents through an expansion of BadgerCare Plus.
