MADISON, Wis. — Police officers are looking for Democratic Wisconsin lawmakers who were ordered to attend a vote on a bill that would strip public employees of collective bargaining rights.
No Democrats showed up for Thursday's Senate session, meaning a vote cannot be taken. Republicans need one Democratic senator to be present. Calls to Democratic leaders were not immediately returned.
Republicans are pushing the anti-union bill proposed by GOP Gov. Scott Walker. Thousands of people clogged the halls of the Statehouse for a third straight day in opposition.
Protesters clogged the hallways of the Wisconsin state Capitol on Thursday as the Senate prepared to pass a momentous bill that would strip government workers, including school teachers, of nearly all collective bargaining rights.

They want to play hardball. Play hardball back. Since the police are out looking for them they can be presumed missing. The governor can then appoint as many interim senators as needed for government to function.
It has been stated like 10 times that they can’t do that. They need 20 members present to vote.
“How will they catch them?”
They won’t have to be caught. Just drop this vote for now. Schedule regular business that the dems will want to be present for. Then lock the doors, and bring this measure back up for a vote.
FReegards!
And that doesn’t benefits that they get which are far and above anything the private sector pays.
All of that money and Wisconsin schools SUCK!
FIRE THEM ALL !
Please read! There are only 19 Rs. A quorum of 20 is required to vote on anything! There just ain’t enough people there!
Aha. Trick the morons. I love it. I think this is so funny. These idiots are too much. Won’t play in Peoria.

“They should begin the search by looking under rocks and cow turds...”
LOL! Do you realize just how many Cow Pies and rocky farm fields we HAVE in Wisconsin? :)
Sounds like solid grounds for a voter recall if you ask me.
In the army, we called it AWOL.... an offense which usually meant jail time. At the very least, these democrats should be impeached or recalled.
The WI teachers and union sheep didn’t show up for work either, soaking the taxpayers another day. Nooooobody is at work in WI except the republicans and private sector.
That is unbelievable. All those poor hard-working people.
[It’s actually a numbers game. They need 20 senators present, there are only 19 Republicans]
So they don’t have the votes for it to pass?
This tactic of hiding will be used again , state by state, as our nation has to face tough choices ahead.
The remaining legislatures need start impeachment proceedings on those that refuse to work their elected positions.
Let the Gov replace those that have been impeached.
Apparently, the Democrats believe the best way the Democrat Senators can serve Wisconsin is to leave the state. There is a lot to be said for that.
