Response to the Government Shutdown

MADISON — The following is a response from Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Martha Laning on the news of a Republican-prompted government shutdown:

“Republicans have no one to blame but themselves. Their party is in so much chaos and is so incompetent that they’ve shut down the government that they alone control. They have failed to do their most basic job on behalf of the people, and they should be embarrassed by their recklessness incompetence.”
