Underheim Wrong on TABOR, Wrong for Oshkosh

It's ironic that Rep. Underheim spoke out against how the so-called TABOR constitutional amendment was handled prior to the primary elections. He even said, “it’s not the right time to take this up. Not only would this look extremely political, it would be extremely political.”

Furthermore, in March 2004, Rep. Underheim said it "disappoints" him when legislators “screw around with the Constitution.”However, in the end, Rep. Underheim cowered to Rep. Gard and the right-wing conservative agenda by signing his name in support of the constitutional amendment and said he would have voted for it. Way to be "extremely political" Mr. Underheim!

The irony of the so-called TABOR is that it proves legislators like Rep. Underheim can't control themselves. Remember two years ago when he supported using the tobacco settlement money?!? I do!!

Rep. Underheim has been in Madison for some 17 years...17 years of full health care benefits and pay raises for himself, while shared revenue and support for the UW System has been dramatically reduced. He says he's not our father's Republican, which I believe is true since Republican used to mean fiscally conservative.

It's time for leadership for a change!
