Wisconsin GOP senator: We won't pursue criminal charges against fugitive Dems

The “missing” Wisconsin Democratic state senators could be charged with class 1 felonies, but state Republican Sen. Glenn Grothman tells The Daily Caller that he and his colleagues most likely won’t push for the Democrats to be charged.

“All we want is to get a vote on the bill,” Grothman said in a phone interview. “They have to come back sooner or later, whether that be tomorrow or early next week.”

Part 946.12, Section 1, of Wisconsin state law says that a class 1 felony is committed when a public official “intentionally fails or refuses to perform a known mandatory, nondiscretionary, ministerial duty of the officer’s or employee’s office or employment within the time or in the manner required by law.”
