Final election night results from Racine County:
LEHMAN (D): 36,255
WANGGAARD (R): 35,476
So I am guessing nothing destructive will happen in WI until November now, or will Democrats cross the floor?
Nothing was going to happen anyway. The WI legislature is done until Jan 2013 and the new body is inaugurated.
So, the representatives in the Senate/House are paid for --- doing nothing in the next 7 months ?
Like many states the WI legislators get an annual salary even though the legislative days in the capital make up a few months of the year. In WI the salary is $49,943. During the non-legislative months members are working in their districts with constituents and attending occasional committee hearings on subjects not related to specific legislation.
