GET ME REWRITE: Robin Vos feels some intense warmth in the seat of his pants

 

Headline:  WisPolitics, 6/9/2025

“That’s a lie,” Vos said on WISN 12’s UpFront,” which is produced in partnership with WisPolitics. “We did that. We’re willing to do it, just not as much as he wanted. I mean, that’s the difference. When you read that statement, it makes it sound like we were at zero. We were not at zero on any of those topics. We tried to find a way to invest in childcare that actually went to the parents, and to make sure that we weren’t just having to go to a business. We tried to find a way to look at education so that money would actually go back to school districts across the state. It just wasn’t enough for what he wanted.
