(Wisconsin Radio Network) At the Capitol, sparring over a rule on election observers.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, it’s been months in the making by a 24-member advisory committee to the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

On Monday, Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules chair Representative Adam Neylon of Pewaukee was not happy that no lawmakers were involved, and said he found that “a little bit insulting.”

on Millus, a Republican appointee to the commission, told Neylon “no slight was intended.” Millus and WEC chair asked the committee to approve the rule, which the commission approved on a 5-1 vote in March.

The committee can approve, suspend or modify the rule package. Representative Scott Krug of Nekoosa is working on legislation to implement the rule changes, along with penalties for local election officials.
