Neumann Delivers Petitions Opposing Health Care Bill

Good for him.

Republican candidate for governor Mark Neumann delivered more than 5,000 petitions to the Milwaukee office of U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) on Monday from people who say they are against the health care bill before Congress.

Neumann carried the petitions, stacked about two feet high, into Moore’s office Monday morning, and then told reporters that the health care bill will mean higher taxes and more government spending.

He also said that he supported a draft state constitutional amendment that he said was likely to be introduced by State Sen. Joe Leibham (R-Sheboygan), which would preserve choice and private health care options in Wisconsin.

As governor, he said he would take steps to try to block a health care bill from taking effect in Wisconsin.
