Rep. Peggy Krusick, Milwaukee 'Democrat,' Flips To GOP On Crucial Vote

Looks like Krusick forgot two important words when she carried water for ideologically-right wing Assembly Republicans to make it harder for minority students to quality for certain scholarships:

Those words would be "Jeff" and "Plale."

The impact of Krusick's pro-GOP bill amendment, as reported by the Journal Sentinel:

To qualify for the Talent Incentive Program, a student must show financial need and that he or she is a member of a minority group, a first-generation college student, handicapped, or a current or former prison inmate. Minority students are defined as those who are African-American, American Indian, Latino or Hmong.

Krusick's amendment would prevent minority status from being a factor that could be considered in granting the scholarships. Prison inmates would continue to receive preferential treatment under the bill.

It is called bipartisanship.

Really? This is a GOP theme?

Castle Doctrine passed the Senate with bipartisan support today as well!
