Perspective by Dan O’Donnell
Governor Evers really, really seems to like calling the Wisconsin Legislature into special session in order to score political points. Unfortunately for him, Legislative Republicans have gotten really, really good at gaveling in and then gaveling out these sessions so quickly that no one notices them.
For no real reason other than to force Republicans to reject what Evers believes is a popular proposal, the Governor called them into special session last week to take up the Medicaid expansion that they have resisted since it was first offered seven years ago.
“It’s time, enough politics,” Evers said…while playing politics.
