MADISON–The State Assembly was in session today to vote on bills that do not improve the lives of Wisconsinites. In response to the Assembly floor session today, Rep. Robyn Vining (D-Wauwatosa) released the following statement:
“Republican lawmakers are once again politicizing this legislature instead of proposing solutions that actually help Wisconsinites. The bills before us today do not respond to the issues Wisconsinites face, but make it harder to obtain their earned benefits, give special treatment to business courts, and take away local control from local governments.
“Wisconsinites deserve better than what this legislature is doing. The metaphor is pretty clear for Wisconsinites right now. To those who are struggling, Republican lawmakers won’t help you, but they will use you as a pawn in their political game. Look at what we are doing here today–look at all the bills we are voting on: Republican lawmakers aren’t helping people, but oh will they use hurting people for their own political gain.
“Now is the time to address the issues that Wisconsinites sent us here to work on, not divide us by passing legislation that only hurts hard-working Wisconsinites. It is time for this legislature to seek common ground for the common good by addressing the needs of Wisconsinites. Forward, together.”
Rep. Vining represents the 13th Assembly District, which includes Elm Grove, and parts of Wauwatosa and Brookfield. For more information visit Rep. Vining’s website here.
