(Recent bad behavior of the new governor has people coming out to express their opinions of him and his bill against Wisconsin throughout the state. His support team in Eau Claire was out-numbered, this report makes it seem that happened again, but there were no number comparisons.)

COLUMBUS, Wis. -- Resistance to Gov. Walker’s "budget repair bill" followed him to Columbus as protests over the bill headed into its third weekend.
Gov. Walker was scheduled to speak at a private fundraiser on Saturday at Kestrel Ridge Golf Club when a crowd of protestors followed bringing their by-now familiar message with them.
Saturday’s massive crowds at the state capitol were on the minds of many in Columbus, with the local chief of police saying that he anticipated a large – and he hoped, civil – crowd to greet the governor.

"I think the more visible we are to him, the more he'll understand the impact that not only the budget repair bill has, but the budget in general on Wisconsin," said Madison teacher Leigh Vierstra.
And as more information comes out about Gov. Walker’s budget, the right to collectively bargain isn’t the only thing on people’s minds.
"The ending of funding for recycling, how can that be good for Republicans, Democrats, independents, or anybody," said Laura Hansen. "I don't know how people can support this, so I need to be here to say this, because it isn't right, it isn't right."
Some pro- Walker supporters waded through the crowd of about 500 protestors, who were met with blockades, no trespassing signs, and a highly visible presence from the Columbus Police Department.
