In a @wispolitics forum, @SenatorRoth says Republicans may hold a lame-duck session to pass a prescription benefit management bill as well as other unspecified legislation.

He doesn't say whether they would vote down the mask requirement, as @Vanwanggaard says they will.
@wispolitics @SenatorRoth @Vanwanggaard Roth says he wants to meet because a March session day was canceled because of COVID-19.

"It would be nice to get those over the finish line," he says of legislation that would have been taken up that day.

He says a decision won't be made until after the Nov. 3 election.
Roth says he's upbeat on gaining seats this fall.

@SenBewley says there is no way Republicans will gain the three seats they would need to win a veto-proof majority.
Bewley says Democrats may beat @SenDarling, in part because of Trump's soft support in the suburbs.

Roth disputes that, calling Darling the "Iron Lady" of the state Senate (in an allusion to Margaret Thatcher).
Bewley says she believes @SenSchachtner can win re-election despite representing a district that went to Trump in 2016 by double digits.

She says Schachtner fits her district, calling her a "pro-choice bear hunter."

Sen. Steve Nass (R-Whitewater) wants to end the public health emergency declared by @GovEvers because he views it as illegal.

The Legislature could vote down the emergency declaration. Nass blames @repvos, the Assembly's Republican speaker, for not doing so.
Nass said three people are responsible for a "constitutional crisis" in Wisconsin.

"They are Governor Tony Evers, DHS Secretary-Designee Andrea Palm and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos."
Nass: "Assembly Speaker Vos continues to enable the illegal conduct of this administration by blocking the Legislature from meeting to put an end to the improper emergency declaration and emergency orders issued under it."

Partisan infighting handcuffs Wisconsin's ability to fight a surge of coronavirus cases jsonline.com/story/news/pol…
GOP lawmakers are urging a judge to strike down Wisconsin’s mask requirement, but have not come up with their own plan to fight coronavirus.

They’ll try to negotiate with @GovEvers on a new plan if the case goes their way, even though they have barely talked to him for months.
Asked what plan Republicans would put in place if a judge sides with them and strikes down onthe mask rule, @SenFitzgerald said:

“I’m not going to try to rattle a list off. To be quite honest I don’t know what those things would be because that’s what you would negotiate.”
