This is a great move forward for freedom and liberty. Unions are evil.
Congratulations Wisconsin, and may the rest of the states emulate you!
I’m going to check and see if I can find video of that. It was amazing! Woo Hoo!!
bttt
So, the Senate still must pass the bill, right?
This was just the Assembly. It has to go to the Senate and then on to the Gov. But the way it passed was awesome! I’m looking for video...
on Wisconsin
on Wisconsin
grand old badger state!
Right on.
Since it’s non-budget, the Senate doesn’t need the quorum. The rats can stay skedaddled.
Good for the GOP..Dems make me wanna puke..Unions are evil scum..glad that this passed!!
Do you mean those that passed it were cohesive.........
doesn’t AWOL senate now have to vote with a quorum?
only if it was a budget bill
Great news, though! :-)

No video but an explanation. They may be voting on the bill later today. 38 more amendments at 10 minutes apiece.
those boots were made for Walkin’
and that’s just what they’ll do
one of these days those boots are gonna Walk all over you (meaning the B.E.K.)
Yes, the senate must still pass the bill!
A video clip showed a highly animated body of legislators in the Wisconsin Assembly... red-shirted democRATs on the right of the screen. There was no sound to the clip, but it looked like a huge fight was going on, lots of arms flailing around. Wish I could be a fly on that wall tonight! ;-)
I hope it’s a win. I hope it’s not a tactical loss, though. The reason I say that is because I wonder if the bill passing in the Assembly thus forecloses the Senate’s ability to separate out the collective bargaining component as a stand-alone non-budgetary item or amendment to another bill. I’m not saying it does, but it seems like it might. It would take a WI parliamentary nerd to know if that’s the case. I hope it isn’t.
I was hoping the senate would separate the collective bargaining component and pass it, explaining that it was the only alternative to heavy layoffs.
If anyone knows, I’d sure appreciate the information.
