I will
say, one thing that
stood out to me
this week is Tony Evers
did an interview
with WISN-TV
he was straight up asked
if he sought out
Democratic votes on this bill
and he said no.
Zac,
how do you do that
in the Senate, given the,
you know,
political breakdown there?
I mean, I would call it
political malpractice.
Apparently,
he was told
that he had
the Republican votes alone
to pass it in that chamber.
One, it's surprising
that he would count
just on those,
but especially given
the two senators
that we've talked
about repeatedly in that
chamber
that have voted
against every
one of these proposals,
including the last three
budgets, and senators
Nass and Kapenga
Nass is leaving.
We talked about it last week.
There's no way he's
going to be a
yes vote on this.
No one would ever believe
that I.
I don't care
who you're talking to,
but then that assumes
that you're going to get
Kapenga as well.
And not to
not to count Senator
Hutton, who's also leaving
the chamber, who voted no.
In the end,
I think they thought maybe
more likely
they could have gotten him.
But Kapenga has been a no.
In the
last couple of budgets.
So those are really
big assumptions.
At a time
when you have Democrats
over there,
why not reach out and say,
hey, if we need you,
will you be there?
