At the Risk of Repeating Myself, I Prefer the Idea of More Holidays for Legislators

Even if they're paid.

GOP lawmakers seek creation of tax holidays.  (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 12/29/2013)

Remember, folks, 2014 is an election year.  "It might only be 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 bucks, but anything that helps a family is something we're trying to do," [Assembly Speaker Robin] Vos said.  (One of the bill's sponsors is Vos's favorite messenger boy, or so it seems of late.)

Here's what Vos recently proposed.


Orange highlights = floorperiods that remain on Vos's schedule
Red highlights = eliminated floorperiods
Red arrow = my question if the date to send bills to the Governor is moved up.
Green arrow = Legislative Council Study committees start and end dates.  (Vos doesn't like these studies, so don't expect to see much happening here.)
