1
00:00:00,567 --> 00:00:00,868
The deal between

2
00:00:00,934 --> 00:00:02,769
Republican legislative leaders

3
00:00:02,836 --> 00:00:04,171
and Gov. Tony Evers

4
00:00:04,238 --> 00:00:05,839
to use surplus dollars

5
00:00:05,906 --> 00:00:07,741
to reduce property taxes

6
00:00:07,808 --> 00:00:09,676
increase school funding and

7
00:00:09,743 --> 00:00:10,978
give out tax rebates

8
00:00:11,044 --> 00:00:13,280
failed in colossal fashion

9
00:00:13,347 --> 00:00:14,815
when most Democrats voted

10
00:00:14,882 --> 00:00:16,183
against it and Republican

11
00:00:16,250 --> 00:00:17,251
candidate for governor

12
00:00:17,317 --> 00:00:18,318
Tom Tiffany

13
00:00:18,385 --> 00:00:19,453
blasted the bill

14
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:20,787
ahead of the vote.

15
00:00:20,854 --> 00:00:22,356
But when asked

16
00:00:22,422 --> 00:00:24,258
most people across the state

17
00:00:24,324 --> 00:00:25,626
said they were for it.

18
00:00:25,692 --> 00:00:26,393
What do you think was

19
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:27,628
most resonant about

20
00:00:27,694 --> 00:00:29,429
why people wanted this?

21
00:00:29,496 --> 00:00:31,865
I think the fundamental thing is

22
00:00:31,932 --> 00:00:34,201
that it gives something

23
00:00:34,268 --> 00:00:35,502
that everybody wants

24
00:00:35,569 --> 00:00:37,104
at least a piece of.

25
00:00:37,171 --> 00:00:39,306
In our other polling this year

26
00:00:39,373 --> 00:00:41,208
we've seen concern about

27
00:00:41,275 --> 00:00:43,710
reducing property taxes is high.

28
00:00:43,777 --> 00:00:45,078
We have funding for

29
00:00:45,145 --> 00:00:46,446
special education, is

30
00:00:46,513 --> 00:00:48,315
70% in favor of that

31
00:00:49,149 --> 00:00:50,317
and who doesn't want a

32
00:00:50,384 --> 00:00:51,385
check for $300

33
00:00:51,451 --> 00:00:53,253
or $600 to a couple?

34
00:00:53,787 --> 00:00:54,354
So there are

35
00:00:54,421 --> 00:00:55,956
popular elements there.

36
00:00:56,023 --> 00:00:57,090
I think the other thing that's

37
00:00:57,157 --> 00:00:58,992
less obvious, is that

38
00:00:59,059 --> 00:00:59,793
this is a kind of

39
00:00:59,860 --> 00:01:01,195
old-fashioned compromise

40
00:01:01,261 --> 00:01:02,696
where everybody got something

41
00:01:02,763 --> 00:01:03,597
and it's all about

42
00:01:03,664 --> 00:01:04,932
the good things you're getting

43
00:01:04,998 --> 00:01:06,867
rather than the bad things.

44
00:01:06,934 --> 00:01:08,602
The conflict in politics

45
00:01:08,669 --> 00:01:09,803
and in the Capitol may have

46
00:01:09,870 --> 00:01:10,804
made it hard for

47
00:01:10,871 --> 00:01:11,939
that compromise to

48
00:01:12,005 --> 00:01:14,374
carry over in the actual votes

49
00:01:14,441 --> 00:01:15,576
where you saw both

50
00:01:15,642 --> 00:01:17,144
some Republicans and

51
00:01:17,211 --> 00:01:18,612
all Democrats in the Senate

52
00:01:18,679 --> 00:01:20,347
voting no.
