Roessler, Ballweg Want GOP to Change Course on Compensation Reserve Fund

Sen. Carol Roessler, R-Oshkosh, requests in a letter to Senate Minority Leader Scott Fitzgerald that he oppose several provisions in the Assembly budget, including reductions to the compensation reserve fund and contracting out for health care services in the Department of Corrections.

See the letter here.

On Aug. 17, Rep. Joan Ballweg, R-Markesan, sent a letter to Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch urging him to restore the compensation reserve fund to the level passed by Joint Finance Committee. The letter came shortly after Corrections employees put a sign in Ballweg's district reading "Joan Ballweg & Assembly Republicans Bad for Wisconsin."

See Ballweg's letter here.
