Was the open meetings law violated, or wasn't it? It's a very simple question.
Like you give a **** what the truth is. The answer is YES for you regardless of anything else because it fits your idealogical drive. This whole effort, is utter BS by people unable to accept the outcome, and will do anything and everything they can to destroy those that made it happen.
Here we go, a little sanity, not that you'll admit it.
Why the Wis. Dem Lawsuit WonWhat the DA doesn’t mention is that the bill in question is a special session bill, which gives it a completely different status than a regular bill. Senate Rule 93 essentially says that with special session bills, the senate rules apply with some special stipulations (my bold):
Senate Rule 93. Special or extraordinary sessions. Unless otherwise provided by the senate for a specific special or extraordinary session , the rules of the senate adopted for the biennial session , with the following modifications, apply to each special session called by the governor and to each extraordinary session called by the senate and assembly organization committees or called by a joint resolution approved by both houses:
Senate Rule 93 (2) (2) A notice of a committee meeting is not required other than posting on the legislative bulletin board, and a bulletin of committee hearings may not be published.
So, as we’ve mentioned before, not even two hours was required — Scott Fitzgerald decided to offer it as a courtesy.
