Robin Vos, a prominent political figure, has recently expressed his views on the state budget negotiations and legislative actions through a series of tweets. His comments focus on urging bipartisan cooperation and addressing fiscal concerns.

On May 10, 2025, Vos challenged the approach taken by some political figures in budget discussions. He stated, "Do you think instead of complaining, perhaps you could actually sit down with Republicans and negotiate on the state budget? If you don't want to work with us, stop making these videos and pretending like you're leading..." This tweet suggests frustration with what he perceives as performative leadership rather than genuine negotiation efforts.

Later that day, Vos criticized the calling of special sessions for legislation unlikely to pass. He tweeted at 20:14 UTC, "Calling a special session for a bill he knows will never pass isn't the same as passing a budget. We have always passed a budget and instead of complaining to small groups of liberals about it, how about sitting down and trying to persuade GOP legislators to pass some version of". This comment underscores his belief in direct engagement over symbolic gestures.

The following day, May 11, 2025, Vos addressed misinformation regarding property tax increases. He pointed out discrepancies in information sources by stating at 15:13 UTC that "A prime example of someone who just gets their info from one side. The non partisan fiscal bureau has said it is a 400 year guaranteed property tax increase." He detailed projected annual increases per $300k property value over several centuries.
