Gableman had sought to imprison the mayors of Madison, Green Bay and Racine for failing to comply with the subpoenas. The officials had said they would only testify publicly, but Gableman wanted the testimony to be private.
In a statement Monday, Rhodes-Conway said its time for the state to move on from the investigation.
The end of the Gableman reign of error is ten months late and a million dollars short, she said.

We expect better from legislative leaders and attorneys working on their behalf. We can finally move on from the 2020 election but make no mistake, our democracy was damaged by this effort.

(4,318 posts)investigation right from the start. This investigation was reminiscent of Skippy Walkers Foxconn fiasco. - costing the taxpayers of Wisconsin untold millions of dollars for Foxconn infrastructure that to this day is undefined, barely utilized and one which forced many from their homes by imminent domain.
13,000 promised jobs? My ass! The improved freeway and additional lanes going down the I94 corridor is appreciated, but prior to that, there was never any money to upgrade road projects that floundered for years. Poof! The money materialized.
Yup. This is the Republican way. Fiscally responsible my butt. My question is, who benefitted from this mess? Could some of it have been siphoned to TFG for helping push it through?
In either case, Skippy is history, but the useless Republican state legislators roll on, gerrymandered into oblivion and not giving one shit about how stupid they look day by day by day by day by day
Peace to all.
