There are two possible recourses when you hire someone that does not perform the duties they were hired to do. The first and most obvious is to fire them. If you have an employee (or employees) that are a cancer, the top goal should be elimination of that cancer.

The second recourse involves hitting the employee where it hurts most – in the wallet. If they were hired to do a specific job, refuse payment until the job is completed. Suspend pay, and they will respond.

Over 100 days have passed since the Wisconsin State Legislature should have passed a two-year budget. During that time, the members of the Senate and Assembly collectively made over $1.2 million. That seems like quite a bit of money to waste on people that are not doing their job. Personally, I believe each member of the legislature should donate their income to the new budget, as the addition of $1.2 million would solve the current deadlock, and allow Wisconsin to move forward.

Since it would be near impossible to make legislators accountable for their actions by fining them, I vote we recall them all.
