If Wisconsin Club for Growth had a weekly award, this week's would surely go to State Representative Robin Vos, who has mounted the strongest and most intelligent opposition to the budget.As a member of the Joint Finance Committee, Vos has tirelessly raised concerns about backroom deals struck by the committee's Democratic members. Vos took an active role in criticizing the “oil franchise fee,” a disastrous plan for Regional Transit Authorities, trial lawyer giveaways on liability and car insurance premiums, and a plan to give driver's licenses to illegal aliens.
Vos and his Republican colleagues didn't have the votes to actually stop any of these provisions from moving forward. But Vos has remained vigilant in calling attention to the disastrous changes put forward by the Joint Finance Committee. For that, he deserves our gratitude.
