One way to stop the lawlessness of Republicans. When they gain power they use it to weaken their opposition anyway possible.

JY: Are we stupid or what?

Color me red, white and blue ... then call me sheeple.

I think the potential in Wisconsin is huge—but… union members must broaden
their base to include everyone who’s not rich. Urban poor and working class
would support us if we invite them in and if we champion their cause. Rural
whites would too. Very few minorities and rurals are union members.

My suggestion: start with including health care for all. Look at Vermont. Include
a push for single payer in Wisconsin as a part of the recall platform. Maybe look
at partnering with Vermont to expand the pool.

Remember, lots of poor parents don’t like teachers because we’ve been
complaining about them for a long time! Time for us to look in the mirror, step
up, work with the people outside our little cliques!

ps: I’m a guidance counselor from Illinois, have been to Madison 6 times so far
to walk, sing, shout, etc.

I believe you are being very disingenuous. This is what the Wis Open Meetings Act says:
“19.81 Declaration of policy.
(1) In recognition of the fact that a representative government of the American type is dependent upon an informed electorate, it is declared to be the policy of this state that the public is entitled to the fullest and most complete information regarding the affairs of government as is compatible with the conduct of governmental business.”

What happened here was a deliberate and malicious attempt to circumvent that policy. A bill which has such huge and far reaching implications for 175,000+ families in Wisconsin deserves more than 2 hours notice on a bulletin board. Indeed, it was the very reason that 14 Democratic senators left Wisconsin: so the issue could be debated.
The continual lies and trail of deceit by the Governor and the Fitzgerald brothers have made a mockery of our government.
I can remember a time when we were proud of our open and honest government in Wisconsin. At least we were not Illinois. Those days are gone forever. Thank you Governor Walker.

John M, Impractical means inconvenient and not in their best interests?

Senate Chief Clerk Rob Marchant, a non-partisan
official who offers legal and parliamentary advice to
the senate, wrote in an email to senators the night
the bill passed that the vote was legitimate:
There was some discussion today about the notice
provided for the legislature’s conference committee.
In special session, under Senate Rule 93, no advance
notice is required other than posting on the
legislative bulletin board. Despite this rule, it was
decided to provide a 2 hour notice by posting on the
bulletin board. My staff, as a courtesy, emailed a
copy of the notice to all legisaltive offices at
4:10, which gave the impression that the notice may
have been slightly less than 2 hours. Either way, the
notice appears to have satisfied the requirements of
the rules and statutes.

I thought you might find this information to be
useful.

Thanks.

Rob

Just in case you don’t trust Marchant, let’s take a
look at what the Open Meetings law actually says. The
law states:
19.84 Public notice.

(3) Public notice of every meeting of a governmental
body shall be given at least 24 hours prior to the
commencement of such meeting unless for good cause
such notice is impossible or impractical, in which
case shorter notice may be given, but in no case may
the notice be provided less than 2 hours in advance
of the meeting.

But the law also states:
19.87 Legislative meetings.

(2) No provision of this subchapter which conflicts
with a rule of the senate or assembly or joint rule
of the legislature shall apply to a meeting conducted
in compliance with such rule.

So the Open Meeting law says that the legislature’s
rules trump the Open Meetings law when the two are in
conflict. And the legislature’s rules hold that
during a special session, under which the legislature
had been operating, the only notice required is a
posting on a bulletin board in the capitol:
Senate Rule 93 (2)
  (2) A notice of a committee meeting is not
required other than posting on the legislative
bulletin board, and a bulletin of committee hearings
may not be published.
So the rules and statutes clearly seem to hold that
no notice was required other than a bulletin board
posting. Republicans did that. And then, as a
courtesy and just to be safe, they waited the minimum
two hours required by the Open Meetings law when 24
hours’ notice is “impossible or impractical.” Why
might it have been “impractical” to give 24 hours’
notice?

Well, the unemployment roles are going up by one. Whoever the Koch brother’s CEO in charge of political bribery is, is going to get fired for neglecting to buy Maryann Sumi, the Dane county judge.

And as soon as she lifts that temporary restraining order, she’s gonna join the ranks of the wealthier, if she plays her cards right.

Just a temporary delay in the Big Plan, folks, nothing to get happy about.
