Lazy farts!!


@GovEvers
BREAKING: Republican lawmakers were a no-show today for the special meeting I called to release $140 million to fight PFAS statewide and stabilize healthcare access in Western Wisconsin after recent hospital closures.

Am I angry about that? The answer's yes.















As promised, no Republicans show up to convene a meeting of the Legislature’s budget-writing Joint Finance Committee called by ⁦@GovEvers
⁩He wants the committee to release $125 million in PFAS funding, but Republicans don’t want to turn it over to DNR to spend

In the real world, a 'no call no show' is grounds for dismissal. So, Evers needs to tell the committee chairperson to excuse them from the committee and then the SAA (Sergeant At Arms) of the Assembly should call for their expulsion since they won't come and do their jobs.

Not gonna happen, but we can dream once in a while...
