MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — At the Capitol, state Senate Democrats are proposing affordability legislation.
Affordability is high on the agenda in Madison, and Senate Minority Leader Dianne Hesselbein says this housing and healthcare package could pass now – but will after November if Democrats gain majorities in the Legislature.
“I am confident that the state of Wisconsin is going to go to the polls in November and we’re going to be electing Democrats up and down the ticket. But I do believe everything that we’re discussing today should have bipartisan agreement. These are not fringe issues that people are talking about,” said Hesselbein.
More than a dozen already introduced bills are aimed at reducing costs on things like prescription drugs, rent and childcare – but Republican leaders already adjourned the legislative session.
