With all the problems and challenges facing our allegedly bankrupt state, where joblessness is rampant and major infrastructure projects on hold, why is the Wisconsin Senate planning to "earn" its pay by meeting only one day in the entire month of September?

According to Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, it's the fault of, who else, the Democratic Party.

Fitzgerald, a Juneau Republican, explained it to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel this way:

"He said the Senate is slow to get started because of the recalls. Senators didn't have time to work on legislation as they focused on campaigns, and leaders had to reshuffle committees after the elections reshaped the makeup of the Senate and narrowed the Republican majority to one vote. It literally is going to be kind of jump-starting the Senate agenda after the recalls are behind us, Fitzgerald said."

It really took us off track, which might have been the goal of some of the people who launched them."
Uh, well, but, you see, the problem is, Republicans started the recall wars by attempting to recall a whole bunch of Democratic state senators who left chambers for Illinois to block a vote-enabling quorum on Gov. Walker's union-busting bill.
