While I was away...

Nickel

I'm not going to insult your intelligence and pretend I wasn't in Cleveland for the first part of the week. But I also won't insult your effort to put leaders in place who believe in getting you a value for your tax dollar. That's why I got a kick out of this, from the Washington Examiner, covering some remarks I made at a tax reform meeting: 

'Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch then spoke about her work with the Republican Lieutenant Governors Association, which she chairs. (Side note: I walked out of the building right after Kleefisch, who stopped to pick a nickel off the ground. My first thought was "Wow, the RLGA must really be hurting for money," but Kleefisch wondered aloud how, with all these fiscal conservatives around, no one had yet picked it up.)"

My friends, when it is a national news story when I bend down to pick up a nickel, our federal government had better get working harder at pinching your pennies. 

In the meantime, we'll continue to work here at home to give you effective, efficient service for a value. (and I will continue to bend down to pick up pocket change.)


Forward,

Lt Gov Rebecca Kleefisch Signature
