Vos's WI Assembly embraces virtual voting, but do you remember...

...that it was a mere six months ago that Vos dragged the paralyzed Democratic State Rep. Jimmy Anderson 


through days of humiliation for having asked to be able to merely phone into meetings when unable to conveniently be driven to the Capitol?

But that was then and here's what Assembly Republicans did today - - while dropping their usual contempt for the federal dollar.

They made sure to add a contemptible partisan flourish to what should have been bipartisan pandemic cooperation to again disrespect Governor Evers, because that, above all, is the WI GOP legislature's hyper-partisan #1 priority:

Assembly meets, in person and virtually, and passes legislation to help the unemployed, capture federal medical dollars

The bill does not include any appropriations, which likely means Evers cannot use his line-item veto authority. 

Oh. and this, just for venomous anti-first responder worker spite. During a pandemic! So ambulance EMT's - - go eff yourselves:

But Republican lawmakers at the last minute scaled back the bill to provide worker compensation only for health care workers caring for coronavirus patients, police officers and firefighters who contract the virus, instead of for all first responders. 

The move also could require the first responders to prove they were exposed to someone with a confirmed case of the virus while working — enraging unions that represent these workers.
