I am writing to ask you to remain independent during this time of extremely partisan battling.
In Governor Walker's Budget Repair Bill was a provision to sell Wisconsin's energy assets, not to the highest bidder, but to whomever the Governor and/or his appointees decide. That is not a Conservative value nor a Wisconsin way of doing business.
The Senators who have left the state have left using the closest thing to a filibuster we have in Wisconsin. They should be acknowledged for their tenacity and for standing up for what they believe is right.
The budget proposal is over-reaching and, Mr. Lasee, I know that you know that. The budget cuts to local governments makes sense, but the state should not then restrict local governments from doing what they feel is necessary to keep services available. If the federal government were to do the same thing, they would protests throughout Madison and the state.
We are in the fiscal mess we are in because too many people pandered to the loudest donor. They literally sold our state for the easy road. There is, however, difference between correcting course and running aground on your principles.Mr. Lasee, please consider what is truly right for the people of Wisconsin, not just what is politically expedient for the moment. I am asking that you review this new budget objectively and honestly. That is a conservative ethic and the Wisconsin Way.
Thank you and God bless the great state of Wisconsin.
