Cullen Leaves Dem Caucus: Here's his statement

Too bad the moron didn't vote for the mining bill if he's so at odds with the far left of the party (which is pretty much all of them now). He also didn't have to flee to IL last year, but he did.  So now we're at 16 R, 16 D, 1 Indepedent, but Rich Zipperer (R-Waukesha area) is leaving to go work for Gov. Walker, so while a Republican stronghold district, it looks like it'll be a Dim majority till November; no sessions though.

BREAKING: Sen. Tim Cullen leaves Democratic caucus. From email sent by Cullen:




"Sen. Miller has made clear that he does not value or need my presence in Senate Committee leadership and, quite obviously, in the Senate Democratic Caucus.



He has made his decision, and now I will make mine. As of the sending of this email, I am no longer a member of the Senate Democratic Caucus. I will decide over the next few days or weeks whether to become an Independent. I will not become a Republican.



This entire episode makes clear to me that Sen. Miller has no time for my independent ideas and my support of bipartisan solutions to the state’s problems."
