Report - Sen. Dale Schultz will not vote for budget repair bill
Reports are flying that Wisconsin District 17 senator Dale Schultz (R) Richland Center will not support Walker's budget repair bill. I've not seen any confirmation of this, but crowds still left protesting in the state capitol tonight cheered at the news.
If this is true I would like to thank Senator Schultz for saving us from this nightmare, and for being brave enough to do the right thing.
Senator Schultz is the author of an amendment to the bill that was floated a few days ago, which would have removed collective bargaining rights for state employees temporarily, re-instating them in 2013.
