Madison — The top GOP leader in the state Senate backtracked Tuesday, saying Republicans would lift fines and a contempt finding against Democrats - a move that will allow Democrats to vote in committee and may begin to heal wounds between the two parties.

On Monday, Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) said Democrats couldn't vote on bills in committee immediately even though they've returned from Illinois after a boycott of the Senate. That's because GOP lawmakers voted to hold Democrats in contempt of the Senate for the move, which for three weeks blocked a vote on Gov. Scott Walker's union bargaining bill.

The problem ultimately lies with uninformed Republican primary voters.

This move won’t heal any wounds. That never works with libs and marxists. It never does. It just makes them think you’re weak and stupid.

Make them live up to the letter of the law and the rules that they are sworn to uphold. That’s what they promised to do, that’s the promise they broke and that’s the penalty they knew they would have to pay.

They are not three year olds that should get an ice cream even though they were naughty. They intentionally shut down the government of Wisconsin.

Treat them as the traitors they are.

Period.
