WI GOP's no-name, Soviet-style budget writing procedures

How is it that in 2017, in a democracy (albeit,  purportedly) the State of Wisconsin allows public-paid legislators to slip into the public-paid budgetary process amendments  which effect public spending and public policy without a sponsoring legislator's name made public?

We know of the amendment which stripped local communities of the authority to build bike trails, sidewalks and paths.


And another which further devalued the teaching profession by opening classroom certification to applicants who can pass a relatively less-demanding an online review.


This in the GOP-led state whose leaders kept saying if you have to show ID to rent a movie then you need to show ID to vote, but who allow GOP legislators to amend budgets, write laws and spend our money anonymously - - while praising themselves

for "more transparency" [Sic] in the legislative process.
