@MollyBeck I’m not sure I understand. The legislators who opposed the deal were never part of the process to begin with. So how could they compromise? They literally found out about the deal they were supposed to vote for by press release. She doesn’t understand governing or politics.
@epnohelty It was bad policy to vote yes. But the politics of voting no also look bad. It is why political decisions often make bad policy. So responsible members did the right thing in voting down the bill but have to explain the nuanced reasons why.
@JupiterKunt Well the Governor won’t be in office when the deficit he creates by this will be. Some of my pals will.
It’s just irresponsible. Trim the amount to a targeted number and go from there.
There is so dishonest, disingenuous, and disappointing.
1. The rebate checks would have completely skipped about 30% of WI adults, including seniors on Social Security, and half of the $ would have gone to those making over $100K per year.
"They believe that somehow putting money back into people's pockets that are struggling financially ... apparently they don't believe that's an issue."

THE IVIEW SUN ON UPFRONT...
@JupiterKunt Again, I’m not in the legislature. I believe the main reason for opposing the bill was that it created a large deficit at the end of the next budget. Which is a good reason.
@JupiterKunt I’m not in the legislature. But I believe my post explains why many legislators didn’t support the bill and why the bill didn’t help the people who needed it the most.
@epnohelty Because he is not running for re-election, made them take an unnecessary bad vote without any input, and is now going on statewide television trashing Democrats for not supporting it. It didn’t pass because the policy & process was poorly managed. Pettiness & ego.
@SteveAustinWI@BoldCoastCap The only thing that bothered me was that the Governor went on TV and said the rebate was going towards people that were financially struggling. He either wasn’t telling the truth or didn’t know what was in the bill.
4. The total lack of leadership demonstrated in working out a deal with Democratic leadership is what created this mess. Don’t be a dick and say Democratic legislators who have carried your water the past 8 years don’t believe “people struggling financially” is an issue.
DHS agents in MN swerved in front of an unarmed woman who was recording them, once again WALK IN FRONT OF A CAR with guns drawn. The only thing they've learned from Renee Good is how to get away with killing people. A local cop intervened to stop the illegal arrest!
Yesterday in Minneapolis was an execution. I'm a Trump voter, I support ICE, criminal aliens need to be deported & these protesters are a pain in the ass. But that was an execution. An American citizen engaged in the exercise of his civil liberties was executed by federal agents.
