Democrat Signs Tax Pledge… Where are the Republicans?

This is almost sad… despite the fact that only ten of the 52 Republicans in the Assembly have been willing to say that they will not vote for a budget that includes any tax increases or any fee increases that aren’t directly related to the cost of delivering the service, we now have our first unsolicited Democrat to sign on.

Rep. Bob Ziegelbauer is going to stand by the taxpayers and oppose any budget that includes tax increases.  He says:

Owen:

Please add me to your “not gonna vote for any budget with any stinkin’ tax increases"list.
Call on me as needed.

Thanks

Rep. Bob Ziegelbauer
D-Manitowoc
25th Assembly District

PS Make sure they don’t water down the property tax levy limits either.

Now there are 11 members of the Assembly willing to stand against tax increases.  It’s beginning to be a bit disturbing when some Democrats are willing to draw a harder line on tax increases than Republicans.  Here are the 11:

Rep. Vukmir
Rep. LeMahieu
Rep. Lothian
Rep. Pridemore
Rep. Lasee
Rep. Zipperer
Rep. Nass
Rep. Kramer
Rep. Nygren
Rep. Gunderson
Rep. Ziegelbauer

Please join me in letting these Assemblyfolks know that we support them because they support us. 

Here’s an updated map of Wisconsin.  The red areas are represented by Assemblyfolks who are willing to oppose tax increases.
