Hit em where it hurts...Chris 'sticky fingers' Larson, the convicted shoplifting State Senator is gonna have to start up his old habits of lifting stuff from stores if they stay out of Wisconsin much longer.

Nice!

But I wonder who is funding their expenses while out of the state...

“The Senate Committee on Organization voted on a 3-2 party line vote,”

I thought the Rats fled?

Reported today in Harvard IL, just a mile or so south of the state line. Convenient for sneaking home for clean clothes, etc.

I think letting them vote by FAX was a bad precedent.

I hope they also put a stop on the government credit cards.

This hotel likely runs in the $70 a day range. So I could understand five days...but after that? Oh, and I left off the food and bar tab...so figure another $25 a day for that. Good thing there’s no hookers involved.

Seems they could suspend the Democrats’ medical insurance too.

The Senate Committee on Organization voted on a 3-2 party line vote, with Republicans voting in favor and Democrats against

Umm, stupid question here. How did the Dems vote on this? Did they call it in?

That was real gentlemanly of the GOP... let the absentee Rats vote on paper... they lose anyhow. Why didn’t the boltibuster foil this?

Well it would seem to me that this means they are counted in the quorum no matter where they are holed up. Therefore the GOP can sail merrily on with this right to work bill in WI.

before the get the check they have to remounce their actions and submit their immediate resignations. hand them the check, and shove their butts out the door with the 1500 state employees whom will receive the lay-off notices. let them decide which arm and/or leg to remove. See every democrat has to make a sacrifice why not it be an arm and/or leg. they can go to one of those doctors on the corner and maybe they will give them a prescription for a prothestic arm or leg. since the doctors were frauulent, maybe the prescriptions for a prosethitic limb will be too.

Does everyone realize that one of the Democratic senators is the 2008 democratic Milwaukee county executive candidate Lena taylor, whom Walker defeated by 59%.

Should cancel their state credit cards too. I’m wondering how they’ll justify this expense on the cards.

They should also be required to file full disclosure of all funds made available to them and who is paying for their room and board. For tax purposes.

so figure another $25 a day for that.

$25 won't cover the happy hour tab.
