Fitzgerald brothers blast Doyle, Dems on jobs

The GOP legislative caucus leaders, Rep. Jeff Fitzgerald of Horicon
and Sen. Scott Fitzgerald of Juneau, took turns ripping on Democrats
for an anti-business agenda through the first four months of the
2009-2010 session.

Rep. Fitzgerald said the agenda hasn't suprised him, but that "the
shocking part is their disregard for struggling families."

He said the GOP is out talking to business leaders through their
Wisconsin Jobs NOW task force, while blasting Gov. Jim Doyle for allowing
companies such as Thomas Products to leave Sheboygan after GOP Gov.
Bobby Jindal recruited the company to Louisiana.

"Losing jobs to another state because our governor has different
priorities shows just how out of touch he really is," Rep. Fitzgerald
said.

Sen. Fitzgerald said Doyle and legislative Democrats are undoing years
of GOP work to reform welfare and education and are cutting too much
from corrections in the budget.

He said Doyle's signature of the state stimulus bill on Business Day
in Madison was taunting the business community, and that the best way
to stop further tax increases is to take back the Senate next year.

Dem Sens. Krietlow, Vinehout, Lehman and Sullivan are on the top of
Fitzgerald's target list for 2010, and said he had a message for
Majority Leader Russ Decker, D-Weston.

"Senator, we're coming after you too," Sen. Fitzgerald said. "We are
ready for the campaign ahead."
