Decker praises Senate accomplishments

Senate Majority Leader Russ Decker, D-Weston, took the stage to tout the accomplishments of the Senate since retaking the majority in 2006, and to stress the importance of building on that year's success.

Decker singled out the UW growth agenda and closing corporate loopholes, as well as their status as "one of the only legislative bodies in the country" to pass comprehensive health care reform.

He emphasized the possibility that 2008 could see Wisconsin "elect three women to the state Senate," citing the candidacies of Tara Johnson, Alison Page and Jessica King.
