With no newly created jobs to speak of, the Republican majority has spent endless hours thinking of ways to…penalize the absent 14 Democrats.

Hey, the jobs are coming, really, they are someday. Would we lie about that? Trust us. In the meantime, we have to play "daddy" and mete out punishment to our runaway childish Democrats.

Huffington Post: A resolution proposed on Wednesday would allow Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R) to "assign supervision over any employee appointed by a Senator who is absent without leave for 2 or more session days." The resolution has Democratic staffers spooked and unsure of what is coming next. One scenario worrying Democrats that if their new supervisor decides they're not adequately performing their duties and fires them. Democratic State Sen. Chris Larson said "I want to make sure they are alright and that they are not going to be fired because the Republican governor doesn't want them sending a press release or reaching out to constituents."  

In another resolution passed on Wednesday, Senate Democrats will now face a fine of $100 for every day they are out of state. 

Republicans introduced another resolution aimed at staffers, one which rolled back access codes to the copy machines in the statehouse. Staffers for absent senators must also get the majority leader's office to sign off on their timesheets.
