MADISON, Wis. — In response to Assembly Speaker Robin Vos retiring, WisDems Chair Devin Remiker released the following statement:

“Vos leaves behind a legacy of a state government he tried his best to make dysfunctional and leave working people with higher costs and fewer rights. He spent his career shoveling dirt on the grave of the American Dream to do the bidding of the most wealthy and powerful.

“History will not remember him as the giant in lifted heels he sees himself as. It will remember him as a little man who was only remarkable for his gift of still managing to punch down despite his own smallness.”
