That will happen whether intentional or not (unless you hate being around other people). People will avoid Milwaukee if they know they will be going there the next Sunday.

Yes. The only deadline is that reps want to trick or treat with their kids. Not a midnight deadline. @starlinechicago.bsky.social

Five months later, the House somehow still got caught entirely flat-footed: watering down reforms, hiking regressive taxes, and basically throwing whatever else at the wall to see what could stick, all for a bill pronounced DOA by the Governor’s office within hours.
That’s not hard, that’s silly.

Two points I would suggest:
• Don’t let a single geography be able to unilaterally kill any progress with NITA (bring back the 15-vote threshold option)
• New revenues should be less regressive (sales tax increase) or gimmicky (streaming tax) and more transportation-related (Uber/Lyft, burrito taxi)
• Don’t let a single geography be able to unilaterally kill any progress with NITA (bring back the 15-vote threshold option)
• New revenues should be less regressive (sales tax increase) or gimmicky (streaming tax) and more transportation-related (Uber/Lyft, burrito taxi)
Thanks for going through it. Will call my legislators' offices today
