Link to August 27 Oshkosh Northwestern article, "Assembly speaker Mike Sheridan says jobs are top priority".
Excerpt: Saving and creating jobs will be Democrats’ top priority when the Assembly comes back in session next month, Speaker Mike Sheridan said Wednesday.
But Sheridan, a former United Auto Workers union negotiator at the now closed General Motors plant in Janesville, was short on details about how that would be done.
A particular focus would be on growing so-called "green" jobs, Sheridan said. The only proposals he cited were bills that would clear the way for wind farms to more easily be built in Wisconsin and that would spur alternative energy growth.
There's been some speculation that Sheridan might run for Governor, though he's currently downplaying it.
Link to August 26 AP article at WTMJ, "Sheridan Unlikely to Join Governor's Race".
Excerpt: Democratic Assembly Speaker Mike Sheridan of Janesville says it is unlikely he will run for governor next year.
But Sheridan still isn't completely ruling out the possibility.
He was asked about his plans during a Wednesday news conference. Sheridan says, "in all likelihood I'm going to stay right where I'm at."
