"EDITORIAL: Just 10 nays to pay raise among the 132-member Wisconsin Legislature

(Wisconsin State Journal, The Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Feb. 7--In your face, Wisconsin.

Nine out of 10 state lawmakers took a 5.3 percent pay hike last week.

They're taking the extra cash just as the rest of state government braces for service and job cuts to fix a record $5.7 billion budget deficit." EDITORIAL: Just 10 nays to pay raise among the 132-member Wisconsin Legislature

Let's give credit to the 10 lawmakers who showed leadership by returning their pay raise:

--Sen. Alberta Darling, R-River Hills

--Sen. Jon Erpenbach, D-Waunakee

--Sen. Ted Kanavas, R-Brookfield

--Sen. Dan Kapanke, R-La Crosse

--Sen. Joe Leibham, R-Sheboygan

--Sen. Dale Schultz, R-Richland Center

--Rep. Steve Hilgenberg, D-Dodgeville

--Rep. Dan Knodl, R-Germantown

--Rep. Margaret Krusick, D-Milwaukee

--Rep. Keith Ripp, R-Lodi

The self-sacrifice of these 10 public servants will save the state money and, more significantly, reassure the public that we're all in this together.

I guess Gary Tauchen, R-Bonduel; needed extra pay while the rest of us get laid off or are on pay freezes.

Another reason someone that is conservative needs to replace Gary Tauchen. time for Gary To go!
