Huebsch says he believes Supreme Court will act quickly
We guess that when you control the court, as the GOP does, you will already know the answer to their deliberations. For this reason, DOA Sec. Mike Huebsch seems to already know that the Wisconsin Supreme Court will act quickly with regards to the collective bargaining law. Lets not forget that the four conservative judges have already been advised by the Walker Administration that they need for the anti-collective bargaining provisions to be in place by June 30th. So actually, the Walker Administration has given the Wisconsin Supreme Court the deadline date for them to rule in favor of the Walker Administration.

Huebsch: State preparing for big protests next week
It would seem that the Scott Walker Administration once again wants to create a scenario that the tens of thousands of Wisconsinites that have been massing at the State Capitol to denounce the actions of the GOP Majority are there to do evil things.
DOA Secretary Mike Huebsch, the individual who is deliberately ignoring a court order to "OPEN" the Capitol to free passage, in and out, by the citizens, is once again stating that he is preparing for the worst. As the Administration has demonstrated in the past, this will mean activation of the National Guard, and countless numbers of state troopers and other law enforcement officers will circle the state capitol.
A remedy that this Administration could employ is to "listen to the people" and totally rewrite the 2011-2013 biennial state budget so that it is fair to ALL the people of Wisconsin and it supports Wisconsin values. But hey, that would be too easy, so the administration chooses to overreact with wasted resources to protect themselves from what?

GAB signs off on recall elections for Democrats
The Government Accountability Board has certified recall elections against Democratic state Senators Dave Hansen (D-Green Bay), Bob Wirch (D-Pleasant Prairie), and Jim Holperin (D-Conover). The action comes after board members rejected most claims from Democrats that rampant fraud was committed by people paid to gather signatures. A hearing on those complaints took most of the day on Wednesday.

Assembly Likely to Call an Extraordinary Session
Earlier today, SEPAC reported that Speaker Fitzgerald's office was saying that the Assembly would most likely begin debate on the biennial budget bill next Tuesday, June 14th.
It appears that according to Joint Rule 81 of the 2011 Senate Joint Resolution 1 the Assembly and Senate can call an Extraordinary Session to address any bill that is brought to the floor for action. With that piece of information we have learned that on Thursday, June 9th at 3:30pm the Assembly Committee on Organization will meet to vote on calling for an Extraordinary Session in order to act on AB-40 and SB27, the two bills that are refrred to as the 2011 Biennial State Budget.

Legislative Debate to Begin on State Budget Next Week
We have just learned that the Assembly will take the first action on the proposed JFC version of the 2011-2013 biennial state budget. Speaker Fitzgerald's office is stating that they believe the floor debate will begin Tuesday, 06/14/2011 at around 11:00am.
Having written this we must caution that everything is subject to change as we have been learning from the GOP Majority. It is also suspected that there will be a substantial increase in security in and around the state capitol.
The proposed 2011-2013 biennial budget, even with some minor JFC revisions is the most controversial state budget in decades, if not the history of Wisconsin. This budget bill is the most anti-union, anti-middle class, pro-wealthy and pro-corporation loaded with many tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations and more taxes shifted to the middle class and lower income. It also cuts many of the social programs that are in place to help everyone in Wisconsin achieve at least some level of decency in thei living style.
