That's the problem with republicans, they don't give you chance for reasoned debate and even if they did they would have voted the same way anyway. Why do you think experienced lawmakers ran away? They knew that was the only chance they had to delay the vote.
Honestly Republicans don't want reasonavble debates, same thing for Dems.
Just immature people..
In 2010, Megan Sampson was named an Outstanding First Year Teacher in Wisconsin. A week later, she got a layoff notice from the Milwaukee Public Schools. Why would one of the best new teachers in the state be one of the first let go? Because her collective-bargaining contract requires staffing decisions to be made based on seniority.
Ms. Sampson got a layoff notice because the union leadership would not accept reasonable changes to their contract. Instead, they hid behind a collective-bargaining agreement that costs the taxpayers $101,091 per year for each teacher, protects a 0% contribution for health-insurance premiums, and forces schools to hire and fire based on seniority and union rules.
My state's budget-repair bill, which passed the Assembly on Feb. 25 and awaits a vote in the Senate, reforms this union-controlled hiring and firing process by allowing school districts to assign staff based on merit and performance. That keeps great teachers like Ms. Sampson in the classroom.
Wait a second, since the Repugs passed a law against collective bargaining as a single subject by saying it has nothing to do with money or savings, does that mean Walker lied?

I suppose a recall will soon be the norm when a law is passed that the other party doesn't like?
We all forgot about repeal and replace of the health care act so quickly did we? Except we all know they replace part would be conveniently forgotten about. Yeah, just because republicans enacted a law doesn't mean democrats and democratic voters can't be just as extreme and get a recall vote started for all of them. This hurts the unions in their pocketbook so I don't consider it to be any more extreme then republicans trying to strangulate unions.

Kenny 'Boy' Lay of Enron infamy was a contributor friend of the Bushes. He ran Enron.
Those crooks at Enron were unable to make money legitimately so they made illegal insider trades.
While deciding to set up trades, Enron used a division of their traders and had their employees calling power plant worker insiders and basically telling them to shut down fully functioning power plants for maintenance timed to coincide with their speculation trades. They stole a fortune.
They caused rolling brownouts in California and huge utility cost increases in the state.
They then blamed Gray Davis the governor and used their ill gotten gains to fund and recall him, and guess who then later won the white house?
History may not change, but the truth of said history can stay blind to the truth with enough money and well placed propaganda.
Know this, the Koch brothers are funding a whole lot of people to spread their agenda.
Question all you read and verify the veracity of the facts.
The recall of the Dems in Wisconsin is funded by outsiders working for and paid for by Americans for Prosperity, a Koch funded scam.
The recall of the Republicans is a grassroots movement of mainly Wisconsin workers being assisted by their own unions.
Choose wisely and chose well. The will of We the People is a stake.
[Gov Scott Walker column] Why I'm Fighting in Wisconsin
Initially, Walker said it was all about balancing the budget. I guess he had to scramble for another reason since he separated the collective bargaining bill from the budget bill.
You have read a political propaganda essay, that is all.
