The headline makes it sound like Governor Walker is issuing an ultimatum.
When I read the few sentences of the article posted - it sounds like he's just stating a fact: The Dem's dereliction of their sworn duty is going to cost the State (taxpayers) $165M.
That is an important point - but I'd like to start hearing some ultimatums (assuming the Governor has legally viable options)...

It seems to me that somewhere, sometime, some state senator has gone AWOL and the senate or the governor or someone would have had to replace that person or call a special election or something. The citizens just can't be without a senator. If the seat is abandoned, Walker should DO SOMETHING DRAMATIC and threaten to fill the ABANDONED seat. Hardball. The way the Left likes it...

Same here. It sounded a little weak, like "you come back, or, or, or... or else!"

Within the law, I'd love to see him 'pull a Reagan' and summarily fire these public employees, and, within bounds, severely censure or even dismiss the fleebaggers. They aren't doing their jobs, so might as well let someone else. He needs to let them know this will what will happen, and then follow through without hesitation.

My son tells me that the legislature has passed a law requiring identification at the polls. If so, this is a great start and other laws obnoxious to the Fleabaggers.
