Travis rips conference committee procedure

Rep. Dave Travis, D-Waunakee, scolded leadership for bringing an unamendable bill through conference commmittee in a skeletal session.

"We have now set the precedent now that one or two people can slip a budget by everybody," Travis said.

Huebsch countered that Travis had used the process when he was in leadership, a fact Travis acknowledged during his remarks.

"He did it in 1993," Huebsch said. "He did it on the full budget."

Travis maintained his opposition.

"This is a precedent that will haunt this body forever," the retiring Dem said.
