Fitzgerald is struggling to get WI GOP Senate votes to destroy the GAB

[HereSince1628]

If your WI state senator is republican call them and tell them you don't want them to vote to destroy the GAB by turning it into a political board.

He's cancelled the Tuesday floor session to avoid bringing it forward.

Efforts by leaders in the Republican-controlled Wisconsin legislature – to pass a pair of controversial measures to rewrite campaign finance statutes and dismantle the non-partisan Government Accountability Board – appear to be unraveling in the state Senate.

A spokeswoman for Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) said Monday that the Senate has cancelled a scheduled Tuesday floor session, although members are being told to keep their schedules open for the duration of the week. The legislature’s fall session ends on Thursday. The Assembly passed its versions of the contentious GAB (SB 294) and campaign finance (SB 292) bills last month.

“I think they’re hearing from their constituents,” said Jay Heck with Common Cause in Wisconsin. “Certain Republican Senators are very uncomfortable with the idea of doing nothing this fall other than enacting legislation that benefits them.”

3. Do remember Fitz from my days with the YDEM's,

the word on him back then was,he was a bully. Only met his once and that was all I needed. Just knew his personal agenda would someday come true. Wisconsin Politics are just so toxic in the last few years. And to think,the people who voted for these people are the ones they were targeted by them. Koch brothers 1,Wisconsin citizens 0.
