MADISON, Wis. – Wisconsin’s budget stalemate over union bargaining rights shows no sign of resolution – and it could be a long wait.
despite talk of deadlines and threats of mass layoffs, the state doesn’t really have to pass a budget to pay its bills until at least May.
Republicans are becoming increasingly creative in their attempts to lure the 14 Democrats home. They’ve tried cutting off access to copying machines for their staff and requiring lawmakers to pick up their checks at the Capitol rather than having them deposited directly in bank accounts.
On Wednesday, the Senate passed a resolution imposing a $100 fine for each day the Democrats remain on the run.
