Nass says budget repair bill representative of GOP woes
Rep. Steve Nass, R-Whitewater, sent a stinging email to his GOP colleagues this morning blasting the budget repair deal put together by Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch, R-West Salem, and Senate Majority Leader Russ Decker, D-Weston.
He says the repair bill, which the Assembly is set to vote on today, "is representative of the problems confronting Republicans in the State Capitol. Do Wisconsin Republicans really believe in lowering taxes and controlling government spending??? Or was that just rhetoric to get votes."
The repair bill is expected to need much support from Assembly Democrats to pass the house today. Republicans control the Assembly 52-47.
The full email is as follows:
Dear GOP Colleague:
Congressional Republicans lost a third straight special election in a "safe GOP seat." Last night, a Democrat, running as a conservative, defeated a moderate Republican by a 54%-46% margin in Mississippi.
The message is clear for Republicans in Congress and state governments across the land. People will vote for those they trust to keep their word and promise to represent their fiscally conservative views: even if that person is a conservative Democrat.
Today's vote in the Assembly on a bad budget deal is representative of the problems confronting Republicans in the State Capitol. Do Wisconsin Republicans really believe in lowering taxes and controlling government spending??? Or was that just rhetoric to get votes.
Steve Nass
