Government Union Contract Fails in Senate

Wow. Senator Decker argued against the process of approving the union contracts in the lame duck session like this. Kudos to him. Contracts are denied in the Senate by a 16-16 vote (tie results in motion failing). "

Owen has more updates you should be happy with. You have to give Russ Decker a pat on the back.

But Decker said he was not comfortable voting for the contracts now that the “people have spoken” and voted him and other Democrats out of office. He blamed Gov. Jim Doyle and unions for not reaching an agreement on the contracts before the Nov. 2 election.

“If these contracts had been brought to us before the elections, as they should have been, this would have been an entirely different situation,” said Decker, who later declined further comment.

Thank you Russ Decker.
Now will someone go talk to the people in Washington D C.
