I'm a LOT more bothered by the extreme partisan gerrymandering in Wisconsin than by the lame-duck legislating. Without the gerrymandering, in fact, the lame-duck stuff probably couldn't or wouldn't have happened (or would quickly be reversed when the new assembly came in).
As we watch the WI state legislature limit the incoming governor's power, note that the state legislative districts are so gerrymandered that the GOP won ~46% of the statewide vote in Nov but will have ~63% of the seats. 1/x
