Robson: Senate will ignore Assembly GOP bill
Senate Majority Leader Judy Robson, D-Beloit, issued a terse statement on the Assembly Republican plan to take up separate legislation to address school funding, shared revenue and levy limits.
The statement, titled "Republican Budget Obstructionists Try New Stall Tactic," reads:
"This political stunt is an exercise in futility ridiculed by the Governor and it will be ignored in the Senate. It's orchestrated by a few on the fringe who believe covering their political backsides is more important than actually doing their job and getting a budget done.
"It's time for the Republicans to stop running away from their own budget they passed earlier this summer and sit down to get the job done.
"Republicans continue to waste time, say one thing and do another when it comes to working out a budget compromise.
"As more Republican legislators tout and celebrate the continued budget delay it's clear to see who's blocking Wisconsin schools, communities, and college students from having a state budget."
