Having noted that GOP Assembly Speaker Robin Vos greatly increased his staff at taxpayer expense last year, I'm trying to figure out just what they do.
Look at the numbers Vos just touted:
* "Written more than 1,200 direct emails." That's less than four per day. (And are there indirect emails? Huh?)
* "I've personally made more than 400 phone calls to constituents...." About one per day.
Please don't quibble with me about the math and I'm including weekends and holidays as if they were work days. That's right. I am. I worked for years in political offices. A lot of work was done on weekends and holidays. Not to mention evenings.
* And "the most important part of my job is responding to constituents."
C'mon, man. Don't you mean this stuff?
Look at the numbers Vos just touted:
However, the most important part of my job is responding to my constituents. In the past year, we’ve had nearly 3,000 constituent contacts, written more than 1,200 direct emails, and awarded 46 legislative citations. I’ve personally made more than 400 phone calls to constituents and welcomed nearly 300 new businesses and more than 500 new families to the area. These are exciting times for Racine County and I couldn’t be more proud to serve as your state representative. I look forward to another productive year ahead and will continue to update you on our progress in moving Wisconsin forward.* "Nearly 3,000 constituents contacts." That's about eight per day.
* "Written more than 1,200 direct emails." That's less than four per day. (And are there indirect emails? Huh?)

...the Capitol staffers Vos added to Republican payrolls after the 2018 elections are now being used at his direction to keep tabs on Evers' appointees and other public employees.
Wisconsin state Assembly Speaker Robin Vos is deploying staffers to closely monitor Gov. Tony Evers’ administration, including the social media accounts of agencies and top appointees, as part of a continued push to counterbalance the Democratic executive.Or this January 14th assignment?
