1
00:00:00,567 --> 00:00:00,968
A deal that made

2
00:00:01,034 --> 00:00:03,303
strange bedfellows of Republican

3
00:00:03,370 --> 00:00:04,471
candidate for governor

4
00:00:04,538 --> 00:00:05,672
Tom Tiffany

5
00:00:05,739 --> 00:00:07,741
and Democratic state lawmakers

6
00:00:07,808 --> 00:00:09,343
fell apart this week.

7
00:00:09,409 --> 00:00:11,111
What bothers me the most

8
00:00:11,178 --> 00:00:13,947
about this entire package is

9
00:00:14,381 --> 00:00:15,082
you have some of my

10
00:00:15,148 --> 00:00:16,850
Republican colleagues that

11
00:00:16,917 --> 00:00:18,185
obviously

12
00:00:18,252 --> 00:00:19,253
they want to save the money

13
00:00:19,319 --> 00:00:21,321
for a large tax cut next year.

14
00:00:21,388 --> 00:00:22,756
OK, that's fine.

15
00:00:22,823 --> 00:00:23,423
Then you have my

16
00:00:23,490 --> 00:00:24,825
Democrat colleagues that

17
00:00:24,892 --> 00:00:25,826
obviously want to save

18
00:00:25,893 --> 00:00:27,694
all this money for next session

19
00:00:27,761 --> 00:00:29,496
because they have

20
00:00:29,563 --> 00:00:30,764
their various programs that

21
00:00:30,831 --> 00:00:31,899
they want to do.

22
00:00:31,965 --> 00:00:33,634
But the problem is

23
00:00:34,401 --> 00:00:35,802
people are hurting right now.

24
00:00:35,869 --> 00:00:37,804
The economy is suffering.

25
00:00:37,871 --> 00:00:39,006
Our school districts could use

26
00:00:39,072 --> 00:00:41,141
the money for special education

27
00:00:41,208 --> 00:00:42,976
and the further we keep pushing

28
00:00:43,043 --> 00:00:44,945
this down the road is

29
00:00:45,679 --> 00:00:47,314
we're another year behind.

30
00:00:47,381 --> 00:00:49,016
In January, everything's now

31
00:00:49,082 --> 00:00:50,751
focused on the state budget.

32
00:00:50,817 --> 00:00:52,219
Historically, the state budget

33
00:00:52,286 --> 00:00:53,620
gets signed in

34
00:00:53,687 --> 00:00:55,689
late, or, you know, July.

35
00:00:55,756 --> 00:00:56,790
And then once again

36
00:00:56,857 --> 00:00:57,491
those programs

37
00:00:57,558 --> 00:00:58,492
have to get implemented.

38
00:00:58,559 --> 00:00:59,793
So we are

39
00:00:59,860 --> 00:01:00,761
we are another

40
00:01:00,827 --> 00:01:02,496
14 to 15 months

41
00:01:03,797 --> 00:01:05,732
further down the road

42
00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:07,167
to try to get tax relief

43
00:01:07,234 --> 00:01:08,936
for those folks that need it

44
00:01:09,002 --> 00:01:10,470
and also the

45
00:01:10,537 --> 00:01:11,705
special education funding

46
00:01:11,772 --> 00:01:12,306
that our schools

47
00:01:12,372 --> 00:01:13,440
so desperately need.

48
00:01:13,507 --> 00:01:15,175
So that's, if you want

49
00:01:15,242 --> 00:01:15,742
to know the truth

50
00:01:15,809 --> 00:01:16,643
that's what frustrates

51
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:18,378
me the most, is

52
00:01:19,646 --> 00:01:21,448
we had a really good deal now.

53
00:01:21,515 --> 00:01:23,250
I mean, yeah, it had its issues

54
00:01:23,317 --> 00:01:23,951
but now we're just

55
00:01:24,017 --> 00:01:25,319
kicking the can down the road.

56
00:01:25,385 --> 00:01:26,053
Honestly, probably

57
00:01:26,119 --> 00:01:27,788
15 to 16 months

58
00:01:28,288 --> 00:01:30,023
before we get something else

59
00:01:30,090 --> 00:01:30,624
that's going to

60
00:01:30,691 --> 00:01:32,693
help Wisconsinites.
