Solid
After Dems intimated that Republican leadership was shaky, Assembly Majority Leader Jeff Fitzgerald, R-Horicon, said there's no crisis.
He said the governor "threatened" to take 10 votes out of the Assembly Republican caucus. That's not going to happen, Fitzgerald said.
"Leadership's solid over here," he said. "You will see this bill fail again."
The state should be able to live on the $1.25 billion in new growth, but the governor and Democrats want to tax another $1.25 billion, Fitzgerald said. "We can't afford any more," he said. "And the governor's finding that out."
As his brother, Scott, did in the Senate this morning, Fitzgerald criticized Doyle for not being engaged in the process, citing his trade mission to China during the conference committee.
