How do "members of the House" know that there weren't enough votes to pass Governor Walkers proposals if they never held any floor votes? Just as with the Medicaid expansion that would have passed if the bill had gotten a floor vote I wager that many Republicans would have chosen to deal honestly with the deficit but were kept from doing their jobs by the demands of the secretive  caucus system. What happened today is that the GOP supermajority quit their jobs without any effort at all to address the most serious deficit situation the state has ever faced. Now there is no choice but to fire them and start the next session with new people free to vote their conscience rather than bound by undemocratic pledges of fealty to caucus over state and business done in secret committees.
