"Madison - Gov. Scott Walker said Wednesday he was considering changes at the margin of a bill to strip public workers of most of their union rights.
The Legislature's budget committee is expected to meet later this afternoon to consider changes to the bill, which also would require public employees to pay more for their benefits to help close a state budget gap.
The Republican governor said he was talking with legislative leaders from his party about extending state civil service protections - considered among the strongest in the nation - to local workers who would lose their right to bargain work rules under the proposal. Republican senators said Wednesday that amendments were being considered to the bill.
Nonetheless, Walker said he believed he still had the votes to pass it without changes."
I sure hope Walker does not buckle. What in the hell did we vote for in November? If this does not fly, it will be interesting in the upcoming elections for democrats and republicans. Go ahead Scott Walker, make our day.
TEA PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps he has come to the conclusion that this bill does not go far enough?
Well one could hope.
If one hopes and it's not and the unions win, what will come next?
