No date set for floor session on budget repair

Assembly Minority Leader Jim Kreuser has told his members to be ready for a Tuesday floor session on the budget repair bill. But the leaders in both houses say as of yet there are no plans to come to the floor.

"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," Kreuser, D-Kenosha, said in his email to members. "... 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."

Carrie Lynch, spokeswoman for Senate Majority Leader Russ Decker, D-Weston, said a Tuesday session is not yet slated. "We'd like to get it done sooner than that," she said.

John Murray, spokesman for Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch, R-West Salem, said discussions are ongoing and "No decisions have been made regarding floor action at this point in time."
