Perk awaits convicted legislators

We've read recently how Wisconsin state lawmakers get to cash out their unused sick days. Well, this one is even better: According to a story in today's online version of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, six ex-lawmakers convicted of corruption are eligible for up to $294,500 in free health care because of a perk state employees enjoy. This, despite the thousands upon thousands of lawbiding Wisconsin residents who are underinsured or, worse yet, have no heathcare coverage at all. Something about this picture "just ain't right."
