They need at least one Dem to get a 3/5ths quorum to pass appropriation bills.

Making Wisc a right-to-work state would not be an appropriation bill, and would not need any Dems. Neither would passing Vermont-style CCW.

Repubs need to either start passing stuff they CAN pass, or be seen as simply posturing.

The GOP in WI needs to make a wish list of bills so when the Dems get back they ram em down their throat. Cut Cut cut more.

The immediate problem is the state’s fiscal deficit. Making Wis. a RTW state is a good idea, but would not address the most pressing problem right now.

“Repubs need to either start passing stuff they CAN pass, or be seen as simply posturing.”

True. Right to work would be funny.

Maybe a bill making it a 20 year in jail felony to flee the state to avoid the quorum.
