GET ME REWRITE: It's business as usual for power-mad Wisconsin Republicans

 
Robin Vos:  Investing in political duplicity
Bottom headlineDemocracy Docket, 9/15/2023
The redistricting legislation was rapidly drafted the same day it was introduced. It then bypassed the committee process and went to the Assembly floor for a vote without any opportunity for public comment. Democratic lawmakers in the state, like Rep. Deb Andraca (D), have called attention to the rushed process, saying, “ANY bill that does not get a public hearing is a giant red flag.” 
Yesterday, the Wisconsin Democrats released a statement from Iowa leaders, both Democrat and Republican, calling out the misleading bill for “cherry picking elements.” The bipartisan memo further elaborates, “The proposal currently in front of the Wisconsin Legislature cannot be accurately called the Iowa model because it lacks the elements that have been the foundation for our system’s success.”

The last thing these guys want is public input.
