From: Sen.Fitzgerald Sent: Monday, March 14, 2011 3:52 PM To: *Legislative Senate Republicans Subject: Senate Democrat voting privileges in standing committees
Dear Members,
With the return of the Senate Democrats this weekend, questions have arisen regarding Democrat members’ participation in Senate standing committee public hearings and executive sessions.
Please note that all 14 Democrat senators are still in contempt of the Senate. Therefore, when taking roll call votes on amendments and bills during executive sessions, Senate Democrats’ votes will not be reflected in the Records of Committee Proceedings or the Senate Journal. They are free to attend hearings, listen to testimony, debate legislation, introduce amendments, and cast votes to signal their support/opposition, but those votes will not count, and will not be recorded.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact my office.
Thank you,
Scott Fitzgerald Senate Majority Leader 13th Senate District

This is good news.
How long does the contempt last?
Yes!! There must be consequences.
Their contempt for the people of Wisconsin is a lifetime affair.
Contempt lasts until they return to the Senate while in-session.
As I understand it, the Wisconsin state senate is in recess until April 5th.
Please understand, I HIGHLY agree with all of this since the run-away cowards deserve this treatment.
I'm just convinced that they need to be stripped of ALL their legislative responsibility.
If that’s for real it’s a beautiful thing.
They should all have to share a Bathroom with Michael Moore!
LOL
They should have been dismissed of their duty
I do believe there is a constitutional prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment...but for the fleebaggers, I can make an exception.
Don't you think that would run afoul of the constitutional prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment? :)
This article is aching for one of those big green Gs.
Agreed. But this is the next best thing - like taking away their tongues.
BWWWWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
If an employee in AWOL and does not show up to work for a week in any other job, they’d be fired. This job is no different.
Ha Ha Ha Ha
