One of the Wisconsin 14 is working on a law that would prevent other lawmakers from stopping legislation by running away and hiding — a move that could be seen as an olive branch to angry members of the GOP.

Sen. Tim Cullen, D-Janesville, a key member of the Democratic senators who fled the state in a failed effort to stall Gov. Scott Walker’s budget repair bill, said Tuesday he was drafting a state constitutional amendment that would allow the Legislature to vote on and pass fiscal bills with a simple majority. The constitution requires each house to have three-fifths of all members present to vote on bills that have a fiscal impact.

The Democratic senators managed to deny the GOP-controlled Senate a 20-vote supermajority needed to vote on Walker’s controversial bill, which curbed collective bargaining powers for most public employees. A Senate-Assembly conference committee later stripped out the fiscal impacts, which allowed the Senate to pass the bill with just the 19 Republican members present.
