Robin Vos’ time as Assembly Speaker must come to an end

Rep. Jimmy Anderson , a state representative who is paralyzed and uses a wheelchair, asked for simple accommodations to be able to occasionally call into meetings to participate by phone.

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos accused him of “political grandstanding” and denied the request.

Aaron Miller : Vos’ style of leadership is one that puts political power above all else, shoving basic respect and decency to the side.

Miller : It’s time for the Rochester Republican to step aside as Assembly Speaker.

There’s the constant refusal to expand Medicaid , making Wisconsin the only state in the Midwest to do so, making health care access worse in the process.

There was the failure of the Foxconn project, located right in his own Assembly district, not just a one -off failure, but the culminated goal of the entire right-wing takeover of Wisconsin 's government.

Vos has drawn the ire of Democrats and those on the left for years .

The Gerrymander is ending and the Robin Vos era should end with it, says John Sutter .

Sutter: The race for control of the Assembly under the new, fairer maps signed into law this year is going to be remarkably close.

It's unclear why Vos wants to remain in this role at this point, Sutter says.
