Fitzgerald predicts Assembly will be back for override vote
Rep. Mark Pocan said the 20 Democratic votes for passage of the Speaker's budget repair bill shows that Assembly Dems are "ready to lead and govern."
The Madison Dem, who has been placed in charge of his party's Assembly election efforts after Minority Leader Jim Kreuser decided to run for Kenosha Co. exec, said the GOP majority couldn't get the votes out of their caucus, unlike the Senate Dem majority.
Assembly Majority Leader Jeff Fitzgerald responded that Dems voted while giving "the wink and the nod" to Gov. Doyle to use his veto power on the bill. He warned the minority, especially their freshmen, to be ready for a veto override attempt.
"We know what happened here today," Fitzgerald said. "We'll be back if (Doyle) touches transportation."
