RPW Statement on the Budget

Upon passage of the state budget by the Democratic controlled Wisconsin state Assembly, Republican Party of Wisconsin Chairman Reince Priebus issued the following statement:

“The budget, passed by the Assembly Democrats despite bi-partisan opposition, adds to their long list of broken promises to Wisconsin residents.  It contains record tax increases to fund pork-barrel projects, rewards friends and punishes enemies.  Crafted behind closed doors despite promises of open government, pork is directed at specific legislators to buy votes and special interest favors–such as removing the QEO and attacking school choice to name just two–make this budget an assault on Wisconsin taxpayers.

Wisconsin residents can expect higher property taxes, gas taxes, phone taxes, car insurance premiums and the list goes on.  Even our communities will be less safe thanks to the early release of dangerous criminals.  A difficult budget is being used as an excuse to enact a radical Democrat agenda that flies in the face of what was promised during the campaign season.  Wisconsin residents are right to be outraged.”
