State Rep. Jim Steineke, R- Kaukuana, introduced an Assembly Joint Resolution Tuesday to officially change the name of the tree in the Capitol Rotunda brought in during the holiday season to the "Capitol Christmas Tree."
The resolution came weeks after Gov. Scott Walker said the tree that has been called a "holiday tree" for the last 25 years should be called a Christmas tree.
It was called a Christmas Tree for 75 years before it was deemed a "holiday" tree.
"It's an insult to peoples' intelligence to call it a holiday tree when everyone knows what it is...a Christmas tree," Stieneke told the Wisconsin Radio Network.
