Um, how do they pass a bill without the Democrats there in the Senate? Isn't that the whole point behind them leaving to keep the Senate from passing anything until the Unions are allowed to collective bargain?
The Wisconsin senate approved a bill to fine the 14 AWOL democrat fleebaggers $100 for each day they miss, if they miss two or more days. WTMJ reported:
The 14 Wisconsin state Senate Democrats who left the state two weeks ago will now face fines of $100 for each day they miss, if they miss two or more days.
Republicans remaining in the Senate approved the daily fine on Wednesday morning with none of the Democrats present.
The Democrats left Wisconsin in order to delay indefinitely a Republican-backed bill taking away collective bargaining rights from public employees.
The resolution passed on Wednesday also requires the missing Democrats to reimburse the Senate for any costs incurred during attempts to force them to return. Their salary and other per diem payments can be withheld until they pay back the penalties and costs.
LOL, $100 a day. Get real. So they can disappear and still make money every day. How much they make per day? $500 to $1000? So they still need $400 a day for not showing up to work.
Great for hooking your buddies up. Love our politicians
It is just another one of their insults they say they never do

heh blatant hypocrisy, you are right. I was just wondering what the origin was.. and I looked it up. Looks like they're misspelling it.The Big Apple: Fleabagger (flea + teabagger)

“Fleabagger” should not be confused with “fleebagger”—a politician who flees a state to prevent a quorum.
