Wisconsin Democrats again on the wrong side of an 80/20 issue.
A new Marquette University Law School poll found 80% of Wisconsin adults say the failed budget surplus deal on tax relief and school funding should have passed. fox6now.com/news/marquette-l…

All 15 Democrat members of the Wisconsin State Senate voted against this bipartisan, negotiated bill that would have lowered property taxes, provided income tax relief and increased special education funding for schools.

No kidding. In related news, a vast majority of people think the sun rises in the East.

NEW: A vast majority of Wisconsin adults say lawmakers should have passed a bill negotiated by Dem Gov. Tony Evers and GOP legislative leaders that cut property and income taxes, sent more state funds to schools and gave income tax filers a rebate check, according to a @mulaw state poll. jsonline.com/story/news/poli… via @jessieopie and me

For 15 years you've voted to screw working Wisconsinites, increase property taxes, and gut public schools. Senate Democrats don’t need your farewell tour lecture.

Last week, EVERY Wisconsin Senate Democrat voted keep property taxes skyrocketing, voted against giving you $300-$600 to deal with higher costs, voted against taxing tips and OT, and Special Ed funding.
But they will give your money to people that don't pay taxes.
This Memorial Day weekend, every family hitting the road will feel the reckless decisions that are driving up costs.
While Republicans in DC waste our tax dollars, and their allies here in Wisconsin do nothing, Senate Democrats have a plan to drive down costs.

Every Wisconsin Senate Democrat, Senator Nass, Senator Hutton and Senator Kapenga voted NO providing $870 million in income tax rebates to people.
$870 million of YOUR money to deal with higher gas prices and $2.2 billion in higher utility costs set by Evers' PSC.

Still can't believe Democrats and Nass, Hutton, and Kapenga voted No to prevent a property tax increase in 2026, No tax on tips, No tax on OT.

RT @Vanwanggaard: I’m disgusted by what didn’t happen today.
A good deal for WI - stopping 2026 prop tax increase, rebate, no tax on tips…

I’m disgusted by what didn’t happen today.
A good deal for WI - stopping 2026 prop tax increase, rebate, no tax on tips/OT Special Ed, was killed.
Because Hutton, Nass & Kapenga and every Dem wanted to spend more or keep it. It’s You’re Money!

Proof that "Good ideas come and go, bad ideas stick around forever"
Some Milwaukee leaders are AGAIN pushing a no police chase policy.
Good for Chief Norman for saying "No".

To all the moms and mother figures across Wisconsin, and of course, to my partner in parenting and pickleball, Kathy, happy Mother's Day!

Remember when @govevers tried to raise fees on farmers 1700%? And only stopped when the legislature found out?
Now, we don’t even get to find out.

This is part of an ongoing power struggle between the Democratic governor and the Legislature.
Evers last year won a ruling from the Wisconsin Supreme Court that ended the long-held practice of legislative committees approving rules before they could be published

When Democrats say "Republicans didn't do anything for affordability"...
What they really mean is we didn't give away free stuff. They're right. We made it more affordable.
Lower costs. Better access. Real results.
That’s what affordable healthcare should deliver in Wisconsin.

Milwaukee’s solution to crime is… banning food trucks after 10 PM?
Small business owners aren’t the problem. Criminals are.
Maybe instead of going after neighborhood workers, the Common Council should support police, lock up criminals, and stop making excuses for crime.

Disgusting.
It was NOT a “civil rights rally”!!!
It was three days of riots burning Kenosha to the ground because police shot a guy with a knife who was trying to kidnap two kids!
Kyle Rittenhouse, who gained fame for opening fire at a 2020 civil rights rally in Wisconsin, was hospitalized after he was bitten by a venomous spider, the noted firearms enthusiast says. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/gun…

Democrat Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers says the state's congressional map is gerrymandered for Republicans and needs to be redrawn. The only problem? HE DREW THE STATE'S CONGRESSIONAL MAP!

For 40 years, smog from Illinois has forced SE WI drivers into emissions testing. Yesterday, I was proud to stand with @RepBryanSteil, @RepGrothman, & @RepTiffany as they introduced their bill to bring commonsense change. Watch ⬇️
Republican lawmakers announced the Fair Air Standards Act, legislation to “address Southeast Wisconsin’s non-attainment designation and federal emissions testing requirements." fox6now.com/news/southeast-w…

What does Chuck Schumer, Keith Olbermann, Jimmy Kimmel, Hakeem Jeffries and the rest expect to happen when they spend all day, every day describing Trump as a Nazi or fascist, calling for Maximum Warfare against him at all levels?
They should all be ashamed.
