REP. LITJENS: STATEMENT ON PASSAGE OF AB 11
Madison- On Friday, Representative Michelle Litjens (R-Vinland) released the following
statement on the passage of the Budget Repair Bill:
“I am honored to have been able to participate in this amazing show of democracy
my fellow legislators and I have undertaken over the last two weeks to get Wisconsin’s
fiscal house in order on the state and local level and save jobs.
“With 63 hours of floor debate following a record-setting 17 hour public hearing,
those on both sides of this issue had a chance to get their voice heard and should be
commended for this effort.
“Wisconsin’s public employees are some of the best workers this country has to
offer. This was a very tough vote for all of us, but it is the easy votes of the past that put
us in this dire fiscal situation.
“I now call on my Democratic colleagues in the Senate to return home, and
participate in this great experiment we call democracy to take a vote to assist the
taxpayers of this state.”
