I was at the public hearing on Dark Money. There was only one committee member present (the committee chair) along with the bill's author. When I asked why a quorum was not present to hear public testimony, I was blown off with "we don't have to have a quorum for public hearings." This, to my mind is a clear violation of the right to pettition for redress of grievances. We're being intentionally ignored. I did not mince words in my statement. I was not polite. I said that this was not about principles, but about the domination of people by money. I used the F-word..... FASCISM, and held up a picture of Mussoilini and friends hanging by their heels in April 1945. I said "This is where the road to Fascism leads. Let's not take Wisconsin down that road." Was that too controversial to report? I guess so.
