Sources: Senate Dems considering leadership change in closed caucus

Immediately after approving the state budget, Senate Dems headed to a closed-door caucus late tonight for what multiple sources indicated could be a vote on whether to change leaders.

Some Senate Dems have been unhappy with final negotiations over the budget, feeling they were shut out and too much was given up to Republicans to reach a final deal.

The sources indicated Joint Finance Co-chair Russ Decker, D-Weston, was lining up votes today to challenge Senate Majority Leader Judy Robson, D-Beloit, to lead the caucus.

Check back later for an update.
