Assembly debate stretches into early morning on right-to-work bill http://host.madison.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/assembly-debate-stretches-into-early-morning-on-right-to-work/article_e9b4ec41-42b8-5be0-be60-ae8a4a83546e.html … pic.twitter.com/3h1RvD6hyG




.....Democrats said all workers should pay for the union-negotiated wages, benefits and workplace safety rules they enjoy.

Rep. Amanda Stuck, an Appleton Democrat whose husband is a union member who does hazardous construction work, said the aim of the law was to reduce union revenue.

“For the authors of this sinister legislation to suggest you are bestowing some kind of right on us is insulting,” Stuck said.

and I was just messaging with a friend who's still there. Of course, the gallery was cleared last night when a few people started to chant, so those who want to bear witness have had to rely on WisEye. And it's not like "the good old days," when we could stand right outside the doors and if we tried really hard, we could be heard from inside the chambers. They're blocking off more and more hallways so the poor, sensitive little shits tearing apart our state don't have to hear even a whisper of objection from the riff-raff.
