Our new governor is trying to legislate a bill, taking away the rights, public workers have had for 50 years, to be a voice for their benefits and pay.
Was supposed to go to the vote today, AND THE OPPOSING DEMOCRATS LEFT THE STATE, refusing to vote.

"Wis. Lawmakers Flee State to Block Anti-Union Bill"
"MADISON, Wis. – A group of Democratic Wisconsin lawmakers blocked passage of a sweeping anti-union bill Thursday, refusing to show up for a vote and then abruptly leaving the state in an effort to force Republicans to the negotiating table.
As ever-growing throngs of protesters filled the Capitol for a third day, the 14 Democrats disappeared around midday, just as the Senate was about to begin debating the measure, which would eliminate collective bargaining for most public employees."
