Republicans, Legislating Secretly, Trip Over Scott Fitzgerald's Words
Did any Wisconsin GOP legislator who dutifully followed orders and trooped over to their taxpayer-paid lawyers' offices last year to secretly look at redistricting maps drawn up by legislative staffers working out-of-sight on state time in the lawyers' offices remember the pious baloney that Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald served up when Democratic Senators left the state to block a vote on Scott Walker's anti-collective bargaining bill:
"That's not democracy."But evading the Open Records law, signing confidentiality pledges, legislating in the shadows and shutting up about it until federal judges forced out the records - - that's what democracy and the venerable senate chamber Fitzgerald runs for the taxpayers are about?

Here I thought the words they tripped on were going to be "Action is character" or something profound like that. Different Scott Fitzgerald I guess.
"Action is character" also applies here.
Their actions are deceteful and so is their character.

Not to mention Fitz's "That's not democracy." statement as applied to his flouting of open meetings law just a few weeks later as he rammed the anti-collective bargaining legislation down our collective throats.
What's wrong with these people? Have they all had their hypocrisy/irony/bullshit detectors disconnected?
