Those annoying robo-calls
Did you get one or several during the spring election campaign season?
If so, did they drive you nuts?
Robo-calls, those pre-recorded political telephone messages have people screaming bloody murder.
There was a bill in the last legislative session to add robo-calls to the Wisconsin Do Not Call List.
Another bill would have banned them altogether in Wisconsin.
Hold the phone. The bills went nowhere.
Efforts in other states have been more successful.
Watch and listen for a ton of these to invade your household later this year. And when the Legislature returns in January, right off the heels of elections galore, you can bet robo-call legislation will be back, too.
