Bernier says “It’s worse than going to a dentist, going to these meetings” in an interview with the Chippewa Herald. Does not want to hear from local officials about the damage that her votes have caused to our children and schools. CHIPPEWA, WI – Rep. Kathy Bernier (R-Chippewa Falls) continued her verbal assault on local education leaders Wednesday, saying in an interview with the Chippewa Herald about Monday's regular meeting of the Chippewa Falls, Altoona, and Eau Claire school districts that “It’s worse than going to a dentist, going to these meetings.” (full story here) “Rep. Bernier’s continued disrespect to her constituents only compounds the harm she has done to our public schools,” said Assembly Democratic Leader Peter Barca (D-Kenosha). “Rep. Bernier’s unwillingness to engage the community on the very important issue of funding our schools is as troubling as her record of defunding these schools. Rep. Bernier owes her constituents – and frankly, dentists – an apology!”
“It is shameful that Rep. Bernier is attempting to distract attention from her record of damage to her local schools and community,” Rep. Barca said. “Rep. Bernier simply does not want to hear from local officials about the damage that her votes have caused to our children and schools.” |
