Conservatively Speaking
State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend, the town of Vernon and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago. Senator Lazich has been in the Legislature for more than a decade. She considers herself a tireless crusader for lower taxes, reduced spending and smaller government.
State Budget Watch: Republican amendments to the Senate budget
During state Senate floor debate about the state budget Wednesday, I authored or co-authored all of the Republican amendments (over 30) to the budget. Democrats who control the state Senate killed all of the amendments. Here is the history of legislative action on the budget.
Here are the videos for the amendments I authored:
Eliminating the mandatory minimum increase in auto insurance:
