Wisconsin state assembly ILLEGALLY passed Gov. Walkers "Budget repair bill"
Speaker Pro Tempore Bill Kramer (R) announced that he would hear a voice vote for a roll call on final passage. Immediately, the majority Republicans shouted their ayes, and the Democrats were booing, as they tried to be recognized to demand a separate motion to cut off debate.
Then Kramer called the vote. Within seconds, the digital vote system on the wall announced 51 ayes and 17 nays, and voting was suddenly closed. With a total of 96 members, that got to a majority for the bill but left 28 members who hadn't had a chance yet to vote.
How can you complain about 14 State senators "Not doing their job" when you will not even allow the elected minority in the state house of representatives to have a voice in the democratic process. These kind of bully tactics are exactly when the "Heroic 14" have left the state. According to the prank call Gov. Walker doesn't even want to discuss the bill with state senators and will instead will just have them there and the Senate will declare a quorum and vote without discussion or even the Democratic Senators even present.
It is obvious we don't even have a democracy in Wisconsin, nor even a Democratically elected republic representatives.
For shame Republicans, for shame
