Wisconsin Senate Democrats Have to come Back

Today is the last day that the Senate Democrats in Wisconsin can stay away from the legislature without doing real harm to the state. Part of the budget process in Wisconsin involves refinancing a big chunk of the state's debt, a move which will save the taxpayers $165 million per year. According to all of the reports, tomorrow is the last day on which the legislature could approve the refinancing in order to allow the necessary steps to be taken. Failure to approve by tomorrow will result in the date for calling the bonds to pass by without action. I cannot believe that the Democrats of the Wisconsin Senate would stay out of the state and let the taxpayers suffer to the tune of $165 million per year. That would be a blow from which the Democrat party would suffer fo many years to come.
