Maybe those phone calls aren't necessary

In my last post I suggested a reporter might want to start calling Republican Assembly offices to see how they voted in closed caucus on whether or not to bring SB1, an ethics reform bill, to the floor for a vote by the full Assembly. Turns out those calls might not be necessary.

Tom Sheehan of the Wisconsin State Journal is reporting today that word has leaked out that only two Republicans voted to bring the measure to the floor. If this is true, Rep. Sheryl Albers (R-Reedsburg) and Rep. Terri McCormick (R-Appleton) are the only ones then that can stand in front of their voters and tell them they want ethics reform without crossing their fingers behind their backs.
