A bi-partisan majority of the Wisconsin Senate rejected this fiscally unsound, reckless and irresponsible bill which would have created a $2.9 billion deficit.
From Day One of this legislative session, Senate Democrats have shown by our actions what we are for.
Democrats have introduced bills that would lower costs, reduce property taxes, fund our schools, make health care and medications more affordable. We have proposed legislation to make sure more people can stay in their homes, to support our farmers, to raise wages and improve working conditions.
We are, and have been, laser-focused on Wisconsin families who are struggling because of the chaos and skyrocketing costs in the Trump Economy.
And that’s why this reckless proposal was not something we could support.
When Democrats are in the majority, we will steer a course to a Wisconsin in which our economy works for all, where schools are sufficiently funded, and health care is affordable and accessible. We will lead from a position of compassion, strength, tolerance, collaboration and fiscal responsibility that brings security to future generations.
