@GovEvers
BREAKING: Republican lawmakers were a no-show today for the special meeting I called to release $140 million to fight PFAS statewide and stabilize healthcare access in Western Wisconsin after recent hospital closures.

Am I angry about that? The answer's yes.

In the real world, a 'no call no show' is grounds for dismissal. So, Evers needs to tell the committee chairperson to excuse them from the committee and then the SAA (Sergeant At Arms) of the Assembly should call for their expulsion since they won't come and do their jobs.

Not gonna happen, but we can dream once in a while...
