In response to the release of a proposal for spending Wisconsin’s Surplus, Senate Democratic Leader Dianne Hesselbein released the following statement:

“From my perspective, there is no deal: Three men who will not be in elected office next year have come up with this proposal which Senate Democrats will be reviewing. Any proposal must pass both houses of the legislature and no one knows if Republicans have the votes to pass it. Senate Democrats will have more to say once we have seen the full details of this expensive proposal and have gotten some clarifying information on revenue projections in this time of significant economic uncertainty and upheaval.”
