Speaker Pro Tem Kramer asks for civility in 2013-14 session
Newly reelected Speaker Pro Tempore and Rep. Bill Kramer, R-Waukesha, told the Assembly that while diverse ideas should be encouraged, each member should be treated with respect and emphasized his role in maintaining order in the chamber. He warned against members using "theatrics and personal invective."
Kramer cleared the Assembly gallery several times last session after members of the audience disrupted proceedings by chants or protests.
"If we cannot have honest, structured, efficient debate, we do a disservice to the good people who sent us here," Kramer said. "There are nearly six million people who need us to do their work and not serve our own personal agendas."
