Will Paychecks Lure Back Missing Democrat Senators?
Sources have confirmed that Governor Scott Walker is considering suspending direct deposit for the “Wisconsin Fourteen.” In order for the missing Democratic senators hiding out in Illinois to receive payment, they might have to return to the office and pick up the checks on their desks.
Fourteen Wisconsin Democrat senators skipped town last week in order to prevent the State Senate from voting on Governor Scott Walker’s Budget Repair Bill. In order to call a quorum to pass fiscal bills, twenty senators must be present to vote. With nineteen Republicans ready to vote in favor of the Budget Repair Bill, only one Democrat is needed to pass the bill.
As the showdown continues, might Governor Walker’s tactic lure at least one Democratic senator back in need of a paycheck? With salaries around $50,000 per year for state senators, it will be awfully tempting.
Stay tuned.
