Helping hand offered
Kicking off the special Assembly session, Assembly Minority Leader Jim Kreuser, D-Kenosha, said he's ready to get a budget passed.
"Mr. Speaker, let me help you pass the budget," he said.
"I never said once I would hang you up. You need 10 votes? We can do that," Kreuser said.
Kreuser said he can offer votes from two-thirds, three-quarters, "maybe more" of his members. But Kreuser said he's not confident a budget can be passed tonight because "the tail is wagging the dog" in the Assembly GOP caucus, and more than 20 Assembly Republicans signed a no tax increase pledge.
"I hope you don't obstruct this budget from being passed," Kreuser said.
