Sensenbrenner and Feingold wants change in the in the recovery bill.

Jim Sensenbrenner is hoping for some change in the new stimulus bill that went through the house of representatives last week. It's now the senates turn. Sensenbrenner is a republican from Wisconsin and represents the Waukesha/Menominee Falls area. He expects change to come in the bill so that more jobs can be created as opposed to a lot of wasteful spending as he believes is in the bill. He was joined every republican in the house on voting against the bill. Sen. Russ Feingold is also pledged to do the same while teaming up with his friend and Republican John McCain on an earmark amendment to the bill. With much support to change the bill, it looks like there might be some bi-partisan teamwork after all.
