Egelhoff is the kind of leader we need in Madison

I’ve known Jo for several years. She is a woman of integrity, intelligence and faith. She understands that power belongs to those who follow her and that public officials are servants first and legislators second.

I was impressed with Jo Egelhoff some years ago when I served on the Appleton Common Council. At that time, the mayor asked some of the aldermen to meet with the citizens and help them with their problems and questions.

Egelhoff’s got it right about jobs

But what exactly is enough in taxes and spending? Wisconsin is in the top fourth of states in education spending and, at $6,157 per student, we spend 5 percent more per student than the next-highest-spending state in the Midwest, Minnesota, and 8½ percent more than the national average. In this past school year, per-pupil spending increased 4.2 percent, and total school costs increased 3 percent, according to the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance.
