Their seats ought to be declared abandoned and special elections scheduled. That’s the only thing that gets a Democrat’s attention.

The fact that the fleebaggers have to personally reimburse the State of Wisconsin for all expenses, including all costs associated with deploying law enforcement personnel in this matter, will amount to considerably more than $100/day. It could be that this is more than symbolic.
Agreed....it's going to hurt.

After 10 consecutive absences without leave the seats should be vacated. It would send a message to the Democrats.

Impressive idea really. Plus the accompanying press of it being announced that such and such senator failed to show up and had to be fined and then found and then ordered to return. The bad press alone, or the threat of it, will be more than enough to keep the senators in line.

I am sure the unions will be happy to pick up the tab.

Sorry, did you just use “union” and “legally” in the same sentence? Come on now, be realistic.

This is the *ONLY* thing that will get their attention. The unions have plenty of money, as does the DemonRAT party, so fines are meaningless, especially when they aer so paltry.
These “senators” are guilty of
* dereliction of duty
* violation of their owah of office, ergo perjury
* contempt of the senate
* contempt of the constitution
These alone should be enough to vacate their seats and assign them to somebody else, as well as to arrest them for criminal malfeasance if they ever return to WI.
