Kreuser: Huebsch not negotiating in good faith

Assembly Minority Leader Jim Kreuser, D-Kenosha, slammed Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch for "not bargaining in good faith" in closed door budget discussions with Senate Democrats.

"Just showing up is not negotiating," Kreuser said. "He is going off the base budget which is intellectually not accurate."

Kreuser said Huebsch's e-mail to his Assembly colleagues and "Joe Schmoe" formula press release asking members of his caucus to push a budget for K-12 education is playing politics and "not trying to get his job done."

Kreuser also said that claims that Gov. Jim Doyle or his office have not been actively involved in the budget process are "absolutely ludicrous."
