After a long campaign we did it! Now it's time to get to work to bring our government under control. Years and years of overspending and overtaxing have placed us in a very hard place to get out of. We start this session with a $3.6 Billion deficit. It's is my promise to all of you to not leave that kind of burden for our kids to deal with.
We will make the tough choices and take action that will bring this spending problem under control. It won't always be the most popular thing to do, but we have no choice, it must be done, the time is now!!
I encourage you all to stay very active in your support or even active with your criticism, it is with your input that we will make the decisions necessary to move Wisconsin forward.
