Vukmir: Repair bill is a sham

Rep. Leah Vukmir, R-Wauwatosa, said the budget repair proposal is another example of how legislators "defer, delay and deny" when it comes to budgeting.

Vukmir said "unrealistically optimistic" budget bill was passed in the fall, one that legislators claimed taxpayers could afford. "That claim was proven wrong within two months," she said.

"Maybe the people of Wisconsin are not working hard enough to meet the spending priorities set by this Legislature," she said.

She also predicted that the Legislature will be back again to pass another repair bill.

"This isn't a repair. It's a sham," she said.
