Fitchburg Representative Jimmy Anderson says Republicans are forcing him to vote against his own accommodation request. A vote will be taken today (Thursday) on new Assembly rules which would allow Anderson to phone-in to attend some hearings and committee meetings. Republicans gave Anderson what he wanted – then added another rule change giving lawmakers multiple attempts to override a governor’s veto. When Wisconsin lawmakers create new rules for a session they are voted-on as a package. The Democrat Anderson says this is a “political stunt” by Speaker Robin Vos.
