Got a great briefing and update from Dave....he's not afraid to tell the truth, even when the truth is something you don't want to hear....for instance, it looks like Secretary Levitt (DHSS) is going to cancel the waiver that allows Wisconsin's Senior Care Program to exist.....say bye-bye to one of the best Senior Health plans in the nation.....Unfortuantely this is an Executive Branch Decision and Congress has no say....even when EVERY member of the Wisconsin Congressional Delegation, Senators and Representatives, Democratic AND Republican have written to Bush and Levitt to support the program.....
Something I really liked about Dave's briefing was that Dave explained why he has taken the positions he did and he stood behind them WITHOUT APOLOGY. Even if you don't agree with him, you have to admire him....I met him in 1975 ...shortly after he came to congress (six years?) and I've always respected him for his ability to "say where he stands and stand where he says.."
That's OUR Dave!
