Wisc. Dems shirk duty

What a joke that is taking place in the Wisconsin legislature?

Wasn't it just a few years ago that the Dems fled Wisconsin to avoid their legislative duty? Or was it the Republicans who fled that time?

If Gov. Scott Walker sent the State Police out to find the legislators who are AWOL, 'cuff them and haul them back to Madison, does that order stop at the Illinois state line? Wisconsin legislators are said to be holed up in Rockford (some at the Clock Tower Inn). Should they be "captured" and "escorted" back to the State line, and then pushed across the invisible line into the waiting arms of the State Police?

Gov. Walker needs to be taking a look at "peaceful assembly" of the People and start arresting those who disrupt the process of government in the State House. And school district officials need to dock the pay of teachers who are AWOL from classes. Fire a few of them. Their contract says they will be at school and teaching. They weren't? Just use the words of The Donald. "You're fired!"

When our own state legislators grow some backbone and start taking serious action to restore solvency to the State of Illinois, will we see massive protests from the "Haves"?

Watch what's coming in terms of news about pensions for teachers and administrators in Illinois. If this state isn't bankrupt already, it won't be long.

So Illinois has gotten such a reputation for crooked or cowardly politicians that now we are a haven for them?
