1. Dale Shultz
"The Senate held a quick session and passed the bill, 18-1, with wavering Sen. Dale Schultz voting no."

2. Was it a procedural vote?
OR did he vote his conscience? Or worried about his bread and butter?

4. IIRC, he had been stating publicly all week that he would vote against the budget repair bill.
Said it went too far by eliminating collective bargaining. Whether he was voting his conscience or bowing to the will of his constituents as reflected in recent polls, I salute him. Either one would be an ethical thing to do.
