Help me help you

Assembly Minority Leader Jim Kreuser said he's disappointed the conference committee isn't in session today to negotiate the entire budget, and wants to have substantive talks with Speaker Huebsch about budget passage.

"Let me help you get a budget adopted," he said.

Kreuser, a member of the conference committee, also said he will vote for this bill.

Kreuser said while there have been many dates thrown around in terms of this budget, the one he's eyeing is Oct. 6, the date the budget negotiated former Assembly Speaker Scott Jensen and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Chvala passed.

"I sure hope we get our business done before those two did," he said.

Kreuser said the Assembly bill does not address problems in the Milwaukee Public Schools.

You think you can punish Milwaukee schools and still have a budget, and that's not going to happen," he said.
