Wisconsin's Jensen Ten
Earlier this week, TheRestofUs.org called on ten Wisconsin legislators whose name had come up in the trial of former Wisconsin politico Scott Jensen to demand a vote on a bill to strengthen ethics and campaign finance enforcement. Unbelievably, yesterday, one of the Assembly leaders said he thinks the ethics bill is "unlikely to be brought up," because he's heard "nothing at all" about it from other members.
That seems like something that could change. Wisconsin politicians seem to think the fact that one of their own finally got caught and went to jail means that there is no problem with the current system. If Wisconsin citizens disagree, the should let their representatives know -- LOUDLY. Here's a clip from the Wisconsin Radio network with more.
