Roght. I did read that “fiscal” according to WI law means a bill which spends money. Cutting benefits is not “spending.”

WI will become a right to work state

Wouldn’t private-sector unions still be able to have collective bargaining?

Perhaps, but that is what I believe I heard Walker say in one interview.

I was thinking along the same lines. GOP Lawers reveiwing options while the rats exhaust their resources and expose themselves to be the Marists thugs that that they are.

As we speak, Homeland Security is charging the 18 Republican Senators and Gov Walker with inciting a riot and committing domestic terrorism. .../s

You are right. That must be an old picture, I saw him interviewed a couple of nights ago and he looked like an old gomer.

As soon as the absconding DIM senators appear on the Senate pass the financial portion. Cram it down their loser throats. Please note: in the interest of a “new tone” I purposefully left off the “Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Well I’m glad it took 3 weeks


I likewise am glad it took 3 weeks. How else would the public learn about the atrocities of the unions in Wisconsin?

It takes many days to get all the details to the surface.

Then I don’t get it. What’s changed? WHy didn’t they just do this weeks ago?

I read something here about a week ago suggesting splitting the bill might make it vulnerable down the road. Perhaps someone else who knows what I'm talking about (I don't) can inform us on this.

Anyone?

“I don’t understand why they didn’t just schedule the meeting 24 hours in advance - they would’ve still had the votes to do what they did.”

Maybe true but then, what’s the harm if it is found to be without merit and they have to go back and,,,vote on the bil again? Then the Dems will have to decide again, do they stay and vote or do they leave the state,,again? I think it was a smart move! Maybe the Union Dems will stop playing chicken and next time Walker says get back in the state, they’ll get back in the state. I love it!

Dale Shultz. The putz who had been wavering the past several weeks.

I believe a recall was started against him in his district. He is trying to appease his dem constituents. Another "representative of the people" who cares more about himself than any alleged principles he might claim to hold.

I am so sick of politics being a lifetime career path.

That said, Hooray for the rest of the republicans for holding the line! Great news!
