Protecting taxpayers or fleecing taxpayers

Wispolitics reports that "Gard wasn't ready yet to answer questions about Jensen's future in the Assembly and as a member of the powerful Joint Finance Committee."

Wasn't ready?

Where's the tough on crime swagger? Where is the call for personal responsibility?

Gard should immediately remove Jensen from the Joint Finance Committee. It was beyond ridiculous that Gard appointed Jensen to the powerful committee after he was charged but the fact that he is now dragging his feet on removing Jensen tells you a lot about what kind of Congressman Gard would be in D.C.

You can bet this is going to be a big campaign issue for Gard in his attempt at Congress and if Terri McCormick had a clue she would be jumping all over this.

Jensen's conviction is further proof that the Assembly Republicans have been running the most organized and calculated fleecing of Wisconsin taxpayers in the history of the state. The fact that Gard isn't ready to pull Jensen off the committee that is in charge of the taxpayers purse strings shows that GOP just don't get it.

It is going to be very hard for Gard and the rest to go around and talk about "protecting taxpayers" with their gimmick to change the constitution when a jury has now concluded that in fact the Assembly GOP has been doing the exact opposite for years.

If a jury wouldn't buy the arguments, what makes anyone think voters won't see the same thing-- the Assembly GOP has been fleecing taxpayers for years by using our hard earned money to pay for their political campaigns.

Today it was decided that is illegal and in November people are going to decide it is wrong.
