Ryan budget plan passes House; Wis. delegation splits on party lines
The House today passed the budget proposed by U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Janesville, on a 235-193 vote.
The bill largely split lawmakers along party lines -- just four Republicans crossed over to vote against the proposal, while no Democrats supported it -- and the Wisconsin delegation was no exception. Republicans Sean Duffy, Tom Petri, Reid Ribble and Jim Sensenbrenner joined Ryan in supporting the measure; Democrats Tammy Baldwin, Ron Kind and Gwen Moore opposed it.
