DPW Chairman Joe Wineke statement on Rep. Terry Musser
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
DPW Chairman
Democratic
Party of Wisconsin Chairman
“Last year,
Terry Musser broke from his party to ensure
passage of the Compassionate Care
for Rape Victims Bill – a critical, common
sense measure to protect women that
Republicans repeatedly batted
down.
“It was a
bold step away from a caucus that stood in the
way of the bill at every step.
And without his leadership, it would not have
been in signed into law.
“This is
why I’ve come to respect Terry greatly over
the years. I served with him for 16
years in the State Legislature, and I know he
has been a faithful public
servant. Unfortunately, the extreme, divisive
Republican caucus is not the
place for common sense legislator willing to
have honest debate and cross party
lines to get the job
done.
