Shortest meeting yet
The committee has adjourned after just 25 minutes. Rep. Huebsch provided some feedback on the Dems' renewable package, saying the amount of the tipping fee increase is still a concern, and there are still questions about the transfer. But he sounded a positive note as he walked out.
"Every day we see more willingness to recognize that compromise means middle ground and not just a two-month process of having the Senators try to explain to us how bad our budget is," he said.
There were no comments off the topic of the offers except for Sen. Fitzgerald, who took the opportunity to again ask Sen. Robson to convene the Senate to take up the Assembly-passed school funding bill.
"We are really, really pushing the deadline on this now," he said.
Fitzgerald also said it's time for the Dems to drop Healthy Wisconsin. "Dump this plan and move forward," he said. "It is truly hampering the negotiations."
The committee will be back tomorrow at 10:30 a.m.
