Kreuser tells caucus to be ready for session Tuesday
Assembly Minority Leader Jim Kreuser sent a letter to his caucus members this morning telling them to be prepared for a floor session on the budget repair bill Tuesday, though he says he has not official word a session will take place that day.
Tuesday is the day that May and June road lets are to be awarded by the Department of Transportation. The Doyle administration has said that the letting could be jeopardized if the budget repair bill is delayed.
The Kreuser email reads:
Dear Members,
Please plan on being here Tuesday May 13th for session. While we have not received any official word yet, we should be ready to address the budget repair bill on that day.
It's of the utmost importance to get budget repair passed by Tuesday to ensure that spring transportation contracts are let and workers get back on the job. Further, it's my hope that we'll act separately on the Great Lakes Compact as well. If we don't act on Tuesday, the reality is that the Republican Majority has no intention to deal with the fiscal crisis and road needs facing the state.
Thank you in advance and please don't hesitate to give me or my office a call with any questions.
Jim
