Price tag too high for Kaufert
Rep. Dean Kaufert, R-Neenah, said he can't support the bill because of the raids and tax increases that make it "too high a price tag for the citizens of this state."
While there's some good stuff in the budget, he acknowledged, "most of it is political gotcha and not about the citizens of the state."
Rep. Marlin Schneider, D-Wisconsin Rapids, made the most dire prediction yet.
"Without a budget, I'm going to tell you, there are people that are going to die," he said, referring to those who will have government assistance reduced.
