GET ME REWRITE: Top Wisconsin Republican noncommittal on transparency in government

 
Headline:  Civic Media, 5/19/2025

What a weasel!!  As Assembly Speaker, Vos determines what gets talked about.

Jack Kelly reports:
A similar version of the bill was approved by the state Senate last session but did not receive a vote in the Assembly. The legislation was approved by the state Senate last week. 
The legislation’s path forward remains unclear. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, told reporters recently that “our caucus has never talked about it.” 
“It’s certainly something we could discuss, but we don’t have a position on it at this time,” Vos added.

According to Merriam-Webster, the first-known use of 'weasel word', as in a word used in order to evade or retreat from a direct or forthright statement or position, occurred in 1900.

  1. direct primary
  2. disoriented
  3. Easter Bunny
  4. egocentrism
  5. flub
  6. gutless
