Republican State Senator Repeatedly Scolds Scott Walker, Says Union-Busting "Classic Overreach"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jYVrgR3Vhg

This isn't posting in the Video Forum, but it's worth a listen. The Washington Post reported on Monday in The Plum Line that Republican Senator Dale Schultz proposed a modest compromise with unions and senate Democrats. Republicans threatened at a private meeting to kick Mr. Schultz out of the state senate GOP caucus for his modest attempt at compromise.

Bullies.

2. He won't. He is a decent guy, but he's also one that will be
allowed to vote no in order to cover his ass. His speaking out about this is the first decent thing he's done in this current mess.

5. Oh, thanks and whoops!
I scanned GD for dupe and figured the video forum would bonk me if it had been posted. It kept giving me an "invalid format" error.

Sorry!!!

6. No biggie :) It's always good to have important news in two places anyway.
My previous comment was just to let anyone interested in hearing a longer version where to find it.
