Wisconsin Senate Republicans to withhold Democrats' pay
Senate Republicans to withhold Democrats' pay

Madison -- Senate Republicans voted Tuesday to make Democrats hiding out in Illinois come back to Wisconsin to pick up their paychecks.
The Senate Committee on Organization voted on a 3-2 party line vote, with Republicans voting in favor and Democrats against, to change Senate rules so that senators who miss two consecutive floor days can no longer have their paychecks dropped automatically into their bank accounts. The vote was taken by paper ballot, which allowed Democrats to cast their votes from out-of-state.
Democrats who have already missed two consecutive floor sessions will now have to come to get their paychecks directly from Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) on the floor of the Senate.
"The majority leader shall provide the checks only to the absent Senator and only on the floor of the Senate during a session day," the new rule reads.
Democrats have been holed up in Illinois to block a Senate vote on Gov. Scott Walker's budget repair bill.

They should not be getting paid at all for the time they do not show up at work, plus they should get a stiff penalty for their childish actions. It'd be even nicer if they would face a recall...

There needs to be some form of legal reprecussion against these legislators. Have citizens file a lawsuit of some form, or a vote of no confidence with those who are still in office, or something. All I could think of is recall elections which take way way to much time along with being hard to pull off.
Personally I'd be all for 25 years in prison for treason to the state and their oath of loyalty to the state.
