Knodl the Right Choice for Fiscal Responsibility

GERMANTOWN, WI –  Next year Wisconsin legislators will be tasked with finding a solution to a multi billion dollar deficit left by Wisconsin Democrats.  With families struggling, it is imperative that Legislators work to find savings from within, without taking more from citizens.  Representative Dan Knodl (R-Germantown) is committed to working for the taxpayers and citizens to get Wisconsin back on the right track.

“Over the last two years, Democrats have continued to go straight to the pocketbooks of struggling families and businesses to fund their appetite for more spending,” said Knodl.  “If we are going to solve this crisis, we need to roll up our sleeves and work within our means, and find innovative solutions that don’t involve raising taxes.”

An example of one of these innovative solutions was recently profiled in an article by stateline.org.  It talked about how Wisconsin healthcare professionals and providers worked together to save the state $625 million by prioritizing services and finding efficiencies.  The article points out how by working with those on the front line, there are ways to cut costs while maintaining quality.

“This effort shows that there are savings to be had in Madison, and that our families need an experienced, common sense legislator who will work to find these savings,” said Knodl.  “As a small business owner for over 25 years, I know what it takes to create a real budget, and make the tough decisions now, without passing them off to future generations.”
