Ethics Bill passes Legislature
The Wisconsin Legislature today overwhelmingly passed the ethics reform bill that was the subject of a special legislative session.
The Assembly approved the measure by a vote of 97-2 (no votes from BOYLE (D) and SCHNEIDER (D)). The Senate unanimously passed the legislation without amendment
The Legislature's Joint Finance Committee unanimously approved the bill this morning.
Governor Doyle will sign the bill in the coming days.
No comments have been issued from Winnebago area assembly reps, but they all voted for the measure.
This was a good vote for all of them, and likely a rarity of agreement between them.
