No work - no pay, Wisconsin style

Exactly how do you coax back 14 missing Democrats legislators who have fled the state, refusing to do their job?

Simple. Don't pay them until they report back to work.

That wasn't hard, now was it?

The Green Bay Press-Gazette is reporting that "Wisconsin state senators who miss two or more session days will no longer get paid through direct deposit. They’ll have to pick up their checks in person on the Senate floor during a session."

It is also stated that "The measure applies to paychecks, per diem checks, and any expense reimbursements. The absent senators will have to collect their checks from the Senate majority leader."

Of course, it took Republicans to figure out the only way to actually make Democrats do some work.
