Gov. Scott Walker's bill to strip almost all union rights for public workers advanced out of committee Wednesday just before midnight, setting up a pivotal floor vote in the Senate that is expected for Thursday amid massive demonstrations.

That is roughly the margin that Walker won by - I think it was 54% to 46%. He is doing exactly what we voted him in to do and the unions are not liking it one bit.

Phone lines in Madison have been busy for three days straight - only way I have been able to give my opinion is thru e-mail.

The best thing about this is that if State workers strike they can all be fired. Most of them can then be replaced by anyone with a room temperature IQ and their “tasks” can be learned in a couple of hours.
