AB 110 Passes in the Assembly
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | March 14, 2012
As expected, the State Assembly last night passed Assembly Bill 110 (Special Education Vouchers) by a 55-39 vote. I want all SAA members to see clearly how your Assembly Representatives voted on the bill so here is the roll call vote. Please note that GOP Representatives Ballweg, Petrowski, Al Ott, Petersen and Nass joined the Democrats in opposing the bill. In addition, Representative Marklein was “paired” in opposition to the bill. All other Assembly Republicans supported the bill.
As reported previously, we believe the bill will ultimately die in the Senate. As it stands right now, several members of the Senate Republican caucus are dead set against the bill including Senate Education Committee Chair Luther Olsen (R-Ripon). Nonetheless, voucher proponents continue to work the halls of the Capitol trying to find a way to get 17 votes for the bill in the Senate. We will stay on top of this until it is over. And we will keep the membership apprised of any late-breaking developments on this issue.
