The story in the JS does not make a single mention of the fact that the Democrats walked out in an attempt to disable the Wisconsin legislature.

Uh...

In February, Walker proposed eliminating most collective bargaining for all public workers except police, firefighters and State Patrol troopers.

The day the Senate was to take up the bill, the Democrats prevented action on the bill by fleeing to Illinois. Under the state constitution, at least 20 senators had to be present to pass the measure because it included fiscal elements, and the Republicans hold just 19 seats.
