Wisconsin senate Democrats hiding out in Illinois are beginning to sound desperate. They are now asking Wisconsin senate Republicans to meet them near the Wisconsin-Illinois border “to formally resume serious discussions as soon as possible,” according to The New York Times. The Republicans are showing no interest. I wonder if the truant senators realize how […]
