Bill passes without Senate Democrats present because ALL fiscal matters are removed from the bill.
Disgusting. In addition to collective barganing, Wisconsin's college programs were slashed, recycling programs (started by a Republican) dismantled, and a Early Release Work program (that was designed to reduce prison costs) is gone.
In addition, insurance companies are no longer required to cover contraceptives. |
Work Release getting cut is a shame. It's a great motivator, and those guys get hired very quickly. I'm sure it's a 'Prisoners are taking our jobs'/'Tough on crime' bullshit.
Also, does the Healthcare bill require coverage of contraceptives? Fuck Walker.
