Wisconsin GOPer In Electoral Trouble After Voting For Walker Bill

[RandySF]

One of the people running to replace now-Governor Scott Walker as Milwaukee County Executive is a Republican state assemblyman who voted for Walker's plan to eliminate collective bargaining for public workers.

He's already regretting that.

"I understand it's a major issue to the unions," Jeff Stone said, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "It's not necessarily the way I would have drafted this budget-repair bill. I would have approached it in different ways."

Stone said he would have preferred to leave the collective bargaining intact, but felt the other provisions in the measure made the repair bill worth supporting.
"It's not a perfect bill," Stone said.

camping out at the Capitol and 14 Democratic Senators fleeing the state for two weeks?
