Robin Vos hissy fit leads to yet another outbreak of GOP hypocrisy in Wisconsin (The John Nygren edition)



WIGOP version of balance



Joint Finance Committee approves changes to executive power, early voting with Assembly, Senate votes set for Tuesday.  (Capital Times, 12/4/2018)
Democratic lawmakers have called the extraordinary session “unprecedented," an assertion Republicans have disputed. Though extraordinary sessions are somewhat uncommon, their occurrence in the state Legislature following an election dates back to at least the 1920s, according to the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau. 
But the policy proposals included in this year’s session are unprecedented, according to the LFB.  [Legislative Fiscal Bureau]  There has not been a past extraordinary session that has dealt with the sweeping changes to executive branch authority, nor moved election dates or changed early voting procedures.
