North Side Rising

The Senate Democratic Caucus should be commended for having the political courage to stand in unity against terrible budget policy that made for good sound bites but in reality would have squandered what is left of Wisconsin's budget surplus and put the next Governor and Legislature in a fiscal hole.

The backroom deal between Evers, Vos, and LeMahieu, reflects the kind of shortsighted bumper sticker politics which has eroded public faith in democracy.

The tough vote every Democratic State Senator took last night, standing up to a Governor of their own party when he is wrong, offers hope for a bold new leadership in Madison that will at long last deliver on the real and pressing needs of all working and middle class Wisconsinites."

Thanks Senator Dora Drake and Sen. LaTonya Johnson
