“This is the week from hell.”
“It’s a complete nightmare.”
“It’s ugly. It’s not a pretty picture.”
That’s how government watchdogs described to ThinkProgress the series of votes the Wisconsin state legislature has lined up this week on bills designed to deregulate state campaign finance law, dissolve the state ethics and elections board, and take away a key tool prosecutors use to investigate political crimes.
Gov. Scott Walker (R) — home from his expensive, short-lived bid for president — has indicated he will sign all three measures into law, should they reach his desk.
If they are enacted, critics warn the bills would dramatically remake how elections are run in a state that used to be one of the most progressive and ethically strict in the nation.
“I see them as a package,” Mary Bottari with the Center for Media & Democracy told ThinkProgress. “Together, it’s about letting unlimited, secret money into Wisconsin campaigns, then dismantling the two main avenues for investigating political corruption.”
