Kreuser says Dems could help Huebsch pass budget
Assembly Minority Leader Jim Kreuser says he's talked with Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch, R-West Salem, about offering Democratic votes to enable the budget bill to pass the Legislature.
"At some point, he's going to need some Democratic votes. I'm not going to hang him up," said Kreuser, D-Kenosha, in an interview with WisPolitics.
"I've talked about it and I've opened the door, to (let him) know that I want to work with him to get a budget done in Wisconsin," he said.
"I think we can get a few Democrats to help out," Kreuser said.
Kreuser said he expects a long caucus on Tuesday before the vote on the separate funding bill for K-12 education and local aids. Though he called the move "political posturing," he also expects some of his caucus members to vote for the package.
"There are some districts that may do very well by this, and those people ought to vote for it if it's good for their districts," Kreuser said.
