No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

The final budget plunge to begin tomorrow

Rep. Leah Vukmir (R-Wauwatosa) Tweeted the news that the Assembly will be in session at 10 am tomorrow to take up the 1,903-page Daughter-of-Necrobudget as well as a scheme to shift $261 million in Porkulus money around to allow the current budget to close $70 million in the black (via WisPolitics). Originally, they were supposed to take it up today, but that was postponed after the rank-and-file Democrats started to balk at what their leaders in the Joint Finance Committee put together.

Speculation had been that, since they didn’t have enough votes to ram the Daughter-of-Necrobudget through today, they wouldn’t take it up until next week so they could join the pilgrimage to President Obama in Green Bay tomorrow (via the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel). The fact that they’re passing up the first post-inauguration visit is not good news.
