Republicans Plan to Introduce Constitutional Amendment to Stop Intersex Fish From Coming to Wisconsin

Madison - Recent news accounts regarding an intersex male bass fish with eggs being found in the Potomac River have spurred Republicans to take action to protect Wisconsin's traditional fish. They plan to introduce a constitutional amendment to stop the fish from coming to Wisconsin's lakes and streams.

Rep. Mark Gundrum (R-New Berlin) noted that fast action was needed to prevent the spread of intersex fish to our state.

"We must take action now before our traditional fish want to be intersex fish too. If we don't pass this amendment, some liberal activist judge is going to use these fish to make us clean up the lakes and rivers in our state."

Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) seconded the need to stop activist judges.

"Those that have called for pollution controls to address this matter clearly don't see the real threat here. Activist judges - they're everywhere you look. Why would we take the long route of addressing the pollution of our state waters when we can just quickly pass this amendment, blame activist judges, and go home an tell everyone we've solved the problem?"

Senator Tom Reynolds (R-West Bend) said he plans to hand out pamphlets to the fish on they can learn not to be intersex fish.

Reynolds added, "Why do you think Jesus talked about fish so much in the bible? He clearly wanted us to protect the traditional fish from this attack."
