Editorial: Assembly GOP lets gimmick replace agenda of progress
http://www.wisinfo.com/northwestern/news/opinion/stories/opinion_20695933.shtml

Wisconsin’s state representatives finished the items of their “100 Days Jobs Agenda” this past week. But hold the cake and punch.

This plan wasn’t the work of people trying to jump-start the economy. It was more about creating a bumper sticker slogan over substance, for finishing something in 100 days.

Last September, Republicans in the Assembly publicized this agenda. We criticized Republicans for having party majorities in the statehouse and not thinking bigger dreams. That aside, now it looks like an even more one-sided agenda.

For one, it isn’t Republican. It’s an Assembly Republican agenda. Senate Republicans weren’t involved in the 100 Days Jobs Agenda, neither for leadership or inclusion in its support.

Thank you Oshkosh-Northwestern

1. I'm a little surprised
that such a (well-deserved) criticism comes out of the Oshkosh Northwestern
