Gov.-elect Walker asks to hold off on approving labor contracts
Wisconsin Governor-elect Scott Walker is asking state lawmakers to hold off on approving labor contracts until after he takes office, and the Republicans take control of the Legislature.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker again rejected a proposed compromise Monday to end a political stalemate over collective bargaining rights that led to 14 Senate Democrats skipping town and motivated tens of thousands of people to march on the Capitol in protest for more than a week.
