Looks like the dollar amount was posted incorrectly. Someone probably missed putting in the extra zeros. Should have been more like $1,000/day. A few thousand here and a few thousand there, pretty soon we’re talking real money....(Where did I hear something like that before?)

“My fear is that they’ll wait until day 29, then get some Illinois hack of a doctor to diagnose each of them with “emotional trauma” or some other condition. The fleebaggers claim their absenses are excused, then it all goes to the courts... “

That does sound like something Democrats would be discussing on their Illinois vacation, but I don’t think it would fly in this case. That rule was made before this situation, they’d have to prove they were so ill as to require induced coma or something, if a medical excuse is even allowed by that Wisconsin rule, and if they could actually find a doctor to put his or her professional standing on the line in public like this. I don’t think it would be as easy as teachers or students getting a sick note, in any event. There have been recall proceedings begun on 5 Democrats, as it is (but also 4 Republicans).
