Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker rejects compromise on collective bargaining
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.
Last evening, March 9, 2011, the Wisconsin Senate, without the missing Democrats that left the state, passed a bill that just restricted the public employee bargaining by stripping out the financial part of the existing bill, thereby eliminating the need for a quorum and a supermajority of the vote.
